[PATCH v5 05/19] locking/mutex: Rework task_struct::blocked_on

[John Stultz]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Track the blocked-on relation for mutexes, this allows following this
relation at schedule time.

   task
     | blocked-on
     v
   mutex
     | owner
     v
   task

[jstultz: Fix blocked_on tracking in __mutex_lock_common in error paths]
Signed-off-by: John Stultz <jstultz@xxxxxxxxxx>
---
v2:
* Fixed blocked_on tracking in error paths that was causing crashes
v4:
* Ensure we clear blocked_on when waking ww_mutexes to die or wound.
  This is critical so we don't get ciruclar blocked_on relationships
  that can't be resolved.
v5:
* Fix potential bug where the skip_wait path might clear blocked_on
  when that path never set it
* Slight tweaks to where we set blocked_on to make it consistent,
  along with extra WARN_ON correctness checking
* Minor comment changes
