locking/rtmutex: Dont dereference waiter lockless

The new rt_mutex_spin_on_onwer() loop checks whether the spinning waiter is
still the top waiter on the lock by utilizing rt_mutex_top_waiter(), which
is broken because that function contains a sanity check which dereferences
the top waiter pointer to check whether the waiter belongs to the
lock. That's wrong in the lockless spinwait case:

 CPU 0							CPU 1
 rt_mutex_lock(lock)					rt_mutex_lock(lock);
   queue(waiter0)
   waiter0 == rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock)
   rt_mutex_spin_on_onwer(lock, waiter0) {		queue(waiter1)
   					 		waiter1 == rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock)
   							...
     top_waiter = rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock)
       leftmost = rb_first_cached(&lock->waiters);
							-> signal
							dequeue(waiter1)
							destroy(waiter1)
       w = rb_entry(leftmost, ....)
       BUG_ON(w->lock != lock)	 <- UAF

The BUG_ON() is correct for the case where the caller holds lock->wait_lock
which guarantees that the leftmost waiter entry cannot vanish. For the
lockless spinwait case it's broken.

Create a new helper function which avoids the pointer dereference and just
compares the leftmost entry pointer with current's waiter pointer to
validate that currrent is still elegible for spinning.
