locking/ww_mutex: Set use_ww_ctx even when locking without a context
We will add a new field to struct mutex_waiter. This field must be initialized for all waiters if any waiter uses the ww_use_ctx path. So there is a trade-off: Keep ww_mutex locking without a context on the faster non-use_ww_ctx path, at the cost of adding the initialization to all mutex locks (including non-ww_mutexes), or avoid the additional cost for non-ww_mutex locks, at the cost of adding additional checks to the use_ww_ctx path. We take the latter choice. It may be worth eliminating the users of ww_mutex_lock(lock, NULL), but there are a lot of them.
