Damn, I was hoping to figure out wth is going on before the 62 patch
version of tglx/rtmutex branch made its way out into the big wide
world, but alas, I was too slow.

I started meeting GUI hangs as soon as I merged the 62 patch series
into my 5.13-rt based master tree. I took tglx/rtmutex (977db8e523f5)
back to 5.13-rt to make sure it wasn't some booboo I had made in the
rolled forward tree, but the hangs followed the backport, and I just
met them in virgin v5.14-rc3-rt1, so unfortunately it wasn't some local
booboo, there's a bug lurking. Maybe a config sensitive one, as what
I'm seeing on my box seems unlikely to escape into the wild otherwise.

First symptom is KDE/Plasma's task manager going comatose. Notice soon
enough with a !lockdep kernel, and I can crashdump, or rather I can
with my 5.13-rt based kernel, a dump from shiny new rt1 can't be loaded
by crash for some reason. The local tree dumps I've looked at haven't
been helpful anyway, box at a glance looks fine. With lockdep enabled,
a failing kernel gets so buggered it isn't even able to crashdump.

config attached. Oh, a lockdep enabled kernel fails sooner, but both
fail here fairly quickly.
