locking/mutex: Allow next waiter lockless wakeup

Make use of wake-queues 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.
