Not really, the reason, quoting from my previous mail

   So IMO the above check is not right. However removing this check
   is not the end of story.  This time it gets to task_blocks_on_lock
   and tries to grab the task->pi_lock of the owvner which is itself
   and results in a system hang. (Assuming CONFIG_DEBUG_DEADLOCKS
   is not set). So it looks like we need to add some check to
   prevent this below in case lock_owner happens to be current.

    _raw_spin_lock(&lock_owner(lock)->task->pi_lock);

The patch that works for me is attached below
