It kind of was…
So first I removed the GPL symbol. Then I wasn't too happy about it
especially since it was not introduced as part of RT. So I reverted that
changed and aligned with mainline behaviour (the mutex_rt.h hunk). But
then I noticed that with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=n and
CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES=y we still have a regression compared to !RT and
this was the initial motivation to fix things.
Then I got curious why mutex_lock() (which is essential rt_mutex_lock())
works and noticed the wrapper around it. And while looking at it I
decided to go back to strip the GPL part from export symbol instead of
adding a wrapper. And here I am.
Then I was looking at the patch and decided to align with mainline (and
keep that one hunk) in case Ingo ask for his GPL symbol.
