Ji'an Zhou 74e144274a futex/requeue: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in remove_waiter() on self-deadlock
When FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI requeues a non-top waiter that already owns the
target PI futex, task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() returns -EDEADLK before setting
waiter->task.

The subsequent remove_waiter() in rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() dereferences
the NULL waiter->task, causing a kernel crash.

Add a self-deadlock check for non-top waiters before calling
rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock(), analogous to the top-waiter check in
futex_lock_pi_atomic().

Fixes: 3bfdc63936 ("rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter()")
