So _if_ this is ever likely to be a performance-critical piece of
code, it might be worth doing
if (!raw_spin_trylock(&next->pi_lock)) {
.. do the above unlock and relock in the right order sequence ..
}
to avoid doing that whole "unlock just to relock in the right order" thing.
That's particularly true in cases where dropping one of the locks can
necessitate re-doing some checks.
