[PATCH 4.4 00/11] Fix a potential infinite loop in RT futex-pi scenarios

[Zhen Lei]

Commit 73d786bd043e "futex: Rework inconsistent rt_mutex/futex_q state"
mentions that it could cause an infinite loop, and will fix it in the later
patches:
bebe5b514345f09 futex: Futex_unlock_pi() determinism
cfafcd117da0216 futex: Rework futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock()

But at the moment they're not backported. In a single-core environment, the
probability of triggering is high.

I also backported commit b4abf91047cf ("rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safe"),
it fixes a potential deadlock problem. Although it hasn't actually been
triggered in our environment at the moment.

Other patches are used to resolve conflicts or fix problems caused by new
patches.
