Subject[PATCH] locking/mutex: Allow next waiter lockless wakeup
Make use of wake_q and enable the wakeup to occur after
releasing the wait_lock. This is similar to what we do
with rtmutex top waiter, slightly shortening the critical
region and allow other waiters to acquire the wait_lock
sooner. In low contention cases it can also help the
recently woken waiter to find the wait_lock available
(fastpath) when it continues execution.
