try_to_take_rt_mutex is used every time the task tries to grab a mutex in the

the "Has Waiters" flag of the mutex's owner field. Yes, this could really
be false, because if the the mutex has no owner, there are no waiters and
be false, because if the mutex has no owner, there are no waiters and
the current task also won't have any waiters. But we don't have the lock
yet, so we assume we are going to be a waiter. The reason for this is to
play nice for those architectures that do have CMPXCHG. By setting this flag
