locking/locktorture: Fix deboosting NULL pointer dereference
For the case of rtmutex torturing we will randomly call into the
boost() handler, including upon module exiting when the tasks are
deboosted before stopping. In such cases the task may or may not have
already been boosted, and therefore the NULL being explicitly passed
can occur anywhere. Currently we only assume that the task will is
at a higher prio, and in consequence, dereference a NULL pointer.
This patch fixes the case of a rmmod locktorture exploding while
pounding on the rtmutex lock (partial trace):

This patch ensures that if the random state pointer is not NULL and current
is not boosted, then do nothing.
