You've been working on ancient kernels... That can no longer happen.

Please see if this is still an issue after:

  3ca0ff571b09 ("locking/mutex: Rework mutex::owner")

If so, please write an up-to-date Changelog and patch (it doesn't
apply because of commit

  5aff60a191e5 ("locking/osq: Break out of spin-wait busy waiting loop for a preempted vCPU in osq_lock()")

)
