mutex: preemption fixes
The problem is that dropping the spinlock right before schedule is a voluntary preemption point and can cause a schedule, right after which we schedule again. Fix this inefficiency by keeping preemption disabled until we schedule, do this by explicity disabling preemption and providing a schedule() variant that assumes preemption is already disabled.
