Anders had bisected a crash using PREEMPT_RT with linux-next and isolated it down to commit894d1b3db4("locking/mutex: Remove wakeups from under mutex::wait_lock"), where it seemed the wake_q structure was somehow getting corrupted causing a null pointer traversal. I was able to easily repoduce this with PREEMPT_RT and managed to isolate down that through various call stacks we were actually calling wake_up_q() twice on the same wake_q. I found that in the problematic commit, I had added the wake_up_q() call in task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() around __ww_mutex_add_waiter(), following a similar pattern in __mutex_lock_common(). However, its just wrong. We haven't dropped the lock->wait_lock, so its contrary to the point of the original patch. And it didn't match the __mutex_lock_common() logic of re-initializing the wake_q after calling it midway in the stack. Looking at it now, the wake_up_q() call is incorrect and should just be removed. So drop the erronious logic I had added.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
