In case of error from rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock pi_state is freed
twice in futex_requeue function. Hence removing free_pi_state in
else branch and branching to the location where pi_state is freed.

This reads weird.

Do note that free_pi_state is already protected against passing it a nil
pi_state, so this is merely cosmetic.

Hmm but yeah, looks legit. The cases were we free the pi_state on error
are when doing retry kind of paths, EDEADLK not being one of those cases.

This last SoB tag is incorrect, Andy Lowe is not carrying the patch for you.

Nit but I think we also want to set pi_state to nil after freeing it
in out_unlock. That way this scenario would simply be goto out_unlock.

Thanks,
