The commit 90e1b18eba2ae4a729 is delta of reverting your patch and
adding Peter's patch instead. If you look into the queue
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git/diff/patches/swait-Delete-the-task-from-after-a-wakeup-occured.patch?h=linux-5.0.y-rt-patches&id=8ef6644ae2ac8fc18f157c3deb70fa9acb95a486

is what Peter suggested in the thread and this
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git/diff/patches/sched-completion-Fix-a-lockup-in-wait_for_completion.patch?h=linux-5.0.y-rt-patches&id=8ef6644ae2ac8fc18f157c3deb70fa9acb95a486

is the removal.
