[PATCH] mutex: fix deadlock injection

The check needs to be for > 1, because ctx->acquired is already incremented.
This will prevent ww_mutex_lock_slow from returning -EDEADLK and not locking
the mutex. It caused a lot of false gpu lockups on radeon with
CONFIG_DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH=y because a function that shouldn't be able
to return -EDEADLK did.
