    sched/rtmutex: Refactor rt_mutex_setprio() · acd58620

    With the introduction of SCHED_DEADLINE the whole notion that priority
    is a single number is gone, therefore the @prio argument to
    rt_mutex_setprio() doesn't make sense anymore.
    
    So rework the code to pass a pi_task instead.
    
    Note this also fixes a problem with pi_top_task caching; previously we
    would not set the pointer (call rt_mutex_update_top_task) if the
    priority didn't change, this could lead to a stale pointer.
    
    As for the XXX, I think its fine to use pi_task->prio, because if it
    differs from waiter->prio, a PI chain update is immenent.
