We don't need to adjust prio before new pi_waiter adding. The prio only need update after pi_waiter change or task priority change.
Steven Rostedt pointed: "Interesting, I did some git mining and this was added with the original entry of the rtmutex.c (23f78d4a0). Looking at even that version, I don't see the purpose of adjusting the task prio here. It is done before anything changes in the task."
