[PATCH v3 07/12] locking/ww_mutex: Notify waiters that have to back off while adding tasks to wait list

["Nicolai Hähnle" <nhaehnle@gmail.com>]

From: Nicolai Hähnle <Nicolai.Haehnle@amd.com>

While adding our task as a waiter, detect if another task should back off
because of us.

With this patch, we establish the invariant that the wait list contains
at most one (sleeping) waiter with ww_ctx->acquired > 0, and this waiter
will be the first waiter with a context.

Since only waiters with ww_ctx->acquired > 0 have to back off, this allows
us to be much more economical with wakeups.

v2: rebase on v2 of earlier patches
