locking/rtmutex: Optimize setting task running after being blocked
We explicitly mark the task running after returning from a __rt_mutex_slowlock() call, which does the actual sleeping via wait-wake-trylocking. As such, this patch does two things: (1) refactors the code so that setting current to TASK_RUNNING is done by __rt_mutex_slowlock(), and not by the callers. The downside to this is that it becomes a bit unclear when at what point we block. As such I've added a comment that the task blocks when calling __rt_mutex_slowlock() so readers can figure out when it is running again. (2) relaxes setting current's state through __set_current_state(), instead of it's more expensive barrier alternative. There was no need for the implied barrier as we're obviously not planning on blocking.
