sched/rtmutex/deadline: Fix a PI crash for deadline tasks
A crash happened while I was playing with deadline PI rtmutex.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
IP: [<ffffffff810eeb8f>] rt_mutex_get_top_task+0x1f/0x30
PGD 232a75067 PUD 230947067 PMD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
CPU: 1 PID: 10994 Comm: a.out Not tainted

This is because rt_mutex_enqueue_pi() and rt_mutex_dequeue_pi()
are only protected by pi_lock when operating pi waiters, while
rt_mutex_get_top_task(), will access them with rq lock held but
not holding pi_lock.
In order to tackle it, we introduce new "pi_top_task" pointer
cached in task_struct, and add new rt_mutex_update_top_task()
to update its value, it can be called by rt_mutex_setprio()
which held both owner's pi_lock and rq lock. Thus "pi_top_task"
can be safely accessed by enqueue_task_dl() under rq lock.
