* Adjust the priority chain. Also used for deadlock detection.

+ * @deadlock_detect: do we have to carry out deadlock detection?
+ * @orig_lock: the mutex (can be NULL if we are walking the chain to recheck
+ * things for a task that has just got its priority adjusted, and
+ * is waiting on a mutex)
+ * @orig_waiter: rt_mutex_waiter struct for the task that has just donated

+ * actually deboosting the owner)
+ * @top_task: the current top waiter
+ *
* Returns 0 or -EDEADLK.
