I just found out that this patch will explode nicely when the unplug
code runs into a contended lock. Then we try to block on that lock and
make the rtmutex code unhappy as we are already blocked on something
else.

So no, it's not a solution to the problem. Sigh.

Can you figure out on which lock the stuck thread which did not unplug
due to tsk_is_pi_blocked was blocked?

Thanks,
