No. However, we don't remove the lock like what you do with your patch. 
It will corrupt the data if multiple CPUs are allowed to run 
rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() for the same rt_mutex simultaneously. You 
need to find a way to fix the underlying problem.

BTW, I still can't see a BUG_ON at line 1331 of rtmutex.c with a v5.10 
kernel. Does your source tree have some out-of-tree patches that 
modifies rtmutex?
