From: Nicolai Hähnle <nicolai.haeh...@amd.com>
While adding our task as a waiter, detect if another task should back off
because of us.
With this patch, we establish the invariant that the wait list contains
at most one (sleeping) waiter with ww_ctx->acquired > 0, and this waiter
will be the first waiter with a context.
Since only waiters with ww_ctx->acquired > 0 have to back off, this allows
us to be much more economical with wakeups.
v2: rebase on v2 of earlier patches
