From: Nicolai Hähnle <Nicolai.Haehnle@xxxxxxx>
Check the current owner's context once against our stamp. If our stamp is
lower, we continue to spin optimistically instead of backing off.
This is correct with respect to deadlock detection because while the
(owner, ww_ctx) pair may re-appear if the owner task manages to unlock
and re-acquire the lock while we're spinning, the context could only have
been re-initialized with an even higher stamp. We also still detect when
we have to back off for other waiters that join the list while we're
spinning.
But taking the wait_lock in mutex_spin_on_owner feels iffy, even if it is
done only once.
