locking/rtmutex: Squash self-deadlock check for ww_rt_mutex.
Similar to the issues in commits: 6467822b8cc9 ("locking/rtmutex: Prevent spurious EDEADLK return caused by ww_mutexes") a055fcc132d4 ("locking/rtmutex: Return success on deadlock for ww_mutex waiters") ww_rt_mutex_lock() should not return EDEADLK without first going through the __ww_mutex logic to set the required state. In fact, the chain-walk can deal with the spurious cycles (per the above commits) this check warns about and is trying to avoid. Therefore ignore this test for ww_rt_mutex and simply let things fall in place.
