locking/ww_mutex: Optimize ww-mutexes by yielding to other waiters from optimistic spin

Lock stealing is less beneficial for w/w mutexes since we may just end up
backing off if we stole from a thread with an earlier acquire stamp that
already holds another w/w mutex that we also need. So don't spin
optimistically unless we are sure that there is no other waiter that might
cause us to back off.

Median timings taken of a contention-heavy GPU workload:

Before:

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

After:

  real    0m53.086s
  user    0m7.360s
  sys     1m46.204s

This particular workload still spends 20%-25% of CPU in mutex_spin_on_owner
according to perf, but my attempts to further reduce this spinning based on
various heuristics all lead to an increase in measured wall time despite
the decrease in sys time.
