mutex: Move mutex spinning code from sched/core.c back to mutex.c

As mentioned by Ingo, the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN scheduler
feature bit was really just an early hack to make with/without
mutex-spinning testable. So it is no longer necessary.

This patch removes the SCHED_FEAT_OWNER_SPIN feature bit and
move the mutex spinning code from kernel/sched/core.c back to
kernel/mutex.c which is where they should belong.
