[PATCH v7 07/23] locking/mutex: Switch to mutex handoffs for CONFIG_SCHED_PROXY_EXEC

[John Stultz <jstultz@google.com>]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Since with SCHED_PROXY_EXEC, we will want to hand off locks to
the tasks we are running on behalf of, switch to using mutex
handoffs.

v5:
* Split out from core proxy patch
v6:
* Rework to use sched_proxy_exec() instead of #ifdef CONFIG_PROXY_EXEC
v7:
* Avoid disabling optimistic spinning at compile time so booting
  with sched_proxy_exec=off matches prior performance
* Add comment in mutex-design.rst as suggested by Metin Kaya
