Subject: [PATCH] locking/rtmutex: rcu: Add WRITE_ONCE() to rt_mutex ->owner
Git-commit: 0050c7b2d27c3cc126df59bd8094fb3d25b00ade
Patch-mainline: v5.7-rc1
References: bsc#1149032

The rt_mutex structure's ->owner field is read locklessly, so this
commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to an update in order to provide proper
documentation and READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairing.

This data race was reported by KCSAN.  Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.
