rtmutex: Make rt_mutex_futex_unlock() safe for irq-off callsites

When running rcutorture with TREE03 config, CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, and
kernel cmdline argument "rcutorture.gp_exp=1", lockdep reports a
HARDIRQ-safe->HARDIRQ-unsafe deadlock:

  ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50

This happens with the following even sequence:

preempt_schedule_irq();
  local_irq_enable();
  __schedule():
    local_irq_disable(); // irq off
    ...
    rcu_note_context_switch():
      rcu_note_preempt_context_switch():
        rcu_read_unlock_special():
          local_irq_save(flags);
          ...
  raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(...,flags); // irq remains off
          rt_mutex_futex_unlock():
            raw_spin_lock_irq();
            ...
            raw_spin_unlock_irq(); // accidentally set irq on

    <return to __schedule()>
    rq_lock():
      raw_spin_lock(); // acquiring rq->lock with irq on

which means rq->lock becomes a HARDIRQ-unsafe lock, which can cause
deadlocks in scheduler code.

This problem was introduced by commit 02a7c234e540 ("rcu: Suppress
lockdep false-positive ->boost_mtx complaints"). That brought the user
of rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with irq off.

To fix this, replace the *lock_irq() in rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with
*lock_irq{save,restore}() to make it safe to call rt_mutex_futex_unlock()
with irq off.
