locking/ww_mutex: Optimize ww-mutexes by waking at most one waiter for backoff when acquiring the lock 

The wait list is sorted by stamp order, and the only waiting task that may
have to back off is the first waiter with a context.

The regular slow path does not have to wake any other tasks at all, since
all other waiters that would have to back off were either woken up when
the waiter was added to the list, or detected the condition before they
added themselves.

Median timings taken of a contention-heavy GPU workload:

Without this series:

  real    0m59.900s
  user    0m7.516s
  sys     2m16.076s

With changes up to and including this patch:

  real    0m52.946s
  user    0m7.272s
  sys     1m55.964s
