Add regular waiters in stamp order. Keep adding waiters that have no
context in FIFO order and take care not to starve them.
While adding our task as a waiter, back off if we detect that there is a
waiter with a lower stamp in front of us.
Make sure to call lock_contended even when we back off early.
For w/w mutexes, being first in the wait list is only stable when taking the
lock without a context. Therefore, the purpose of the first flag is split into
two: 'first' remains to indicate whether we want to spin optimistically, while
'handoff' indicates that we should be prepared to accept a handoff.
For w/w locking with a context, we always accept handoffs after the first
schedule(), to handle the following sequence of events:
1. Task #0 unlocks and hands off to Task #2 which is first in line
2. Task #1 adds itself in front of Task #2
3. Task #2 wakes up and must accept the handoff even though it is no longer
first in line
v2:
- rein in the indentation of __ww_mutex_add_waiter a bit
- set contending_lock in __ww_mutex_add_waiter (Chris Wilson)
v3:
- split 'first' into 'first' and 'handoff' to avoid moving the trylock calls
around so much
- scan the wait_list in reverse order in __ww_mutex_add_waiter
