sched: Provide rt_mutex specific scheduler helpers

With PREEMPT_RT there is a rt_mutex recursion problem where
sched_submit_work() can use an rtlock (aka spinlock_t). More
specifically what happens is:

mutex_lock() /* really rt_mutex */
...
__rt_mutex_slowlock_locked()
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
// enqueue current task as waiter
// do PI chain walk
rt_mutex_slowlock_block()
schedule()
sched_submit_work()
...
spin_lock() /* really rtlock */
...
__rt_mutex_slowlock_locked()
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
// enqueue current task as waiter *AGAIN*
// *CONFUSION*

Fix this by making rt_mutex do the sched_submit_work() early, before
it enqueues itself as a waiter -- before it even knows *if* it will
wait.

[[ basically Thomas' patch but with different naming and a few asserts
added ]]
