rtmutex: Deboost before waking up the top waiter

We should deboost before waking the high-priority task, such that we
don't run two tasks with the same "state" (priority, deadline,
sched_class, etc).

In order to make sure the boosting task doesn't start running between
unlock and deboost (due to 'spurious' wakeup), we move the deboost
under the wait_lock, that way its serialized against the wait loop in
__rt_mutex_slowlock().

Doing the deboost early can however lead to priority-inversion if
current would get preempted after the deboost but before waking our
high-prio task, hence we disable preemption before doing deboost, and
enabling it after the wake up is over.

This gets us the right semantic order, but most importantly however;
this change ensures pointer stability for the next patch, where we
have rt_mutex_setprio() cache a pointer to the top-most waiter task.
If we, as before this change, do the wakeup first and then deboost,
this pointer might point into thin air.
