locking/rtmutex: Explain locking rules for rt_mutex_proxy_unlock()/init_proxy_locked()
While debugging the unlock vs. dequeue race which resulted in state corruption of futexes the lockless nature of rt_mutex_proxy_unlock() caused some confusion. Add commentry to explain why it is safe to do this lockless. Add matching comments to rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked() for completeness sake.
