mutex: Add support for wound/wait style locks
Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently holding, i.e. the younger task is wounded. For full documentation please read Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt.
