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.
