On PREEMPT_RT the locks are quite different so they can't be tested as it
is done below.  The alternative is to test for the waitlock within
rtmutex.

This is the bare minimun to get it compiled.  Problems which exist on
PREEMP_RT:

 - none of the locks (spinlock_t, rwlock_t, mutex_t, rw_semaphore) may
   be acquired with disabled preemption or interrupts.

   If I read the code correct the it is possible to acquire a mutex_t
   with disabled interrupts.

   I don't know how to obtain a lock pointer. Technically they are not
   exported to userland.

 - memory can not be allocated with disabled preemption or interrupts
   even with GFP_ATOMIC.
