locking/mutex: Fix HANDOFF condition
[ Upstream commit 048661a1f963e9517630f080687d48af79ed784c ] Yanfei reported that setting HANDOFF should not depend on recomputing @first, only on @first state. Which would then give: if (ww_ctx || !first) first = __mutex_waiter_is_first(lock, &waiter); if (first) __mutex_set_flag(lock, MUTEX_FLAG_HANDOFF); But because 'ww_ctx || !first' is basically 'always' and the test for first is relatively cheap, omit that first branch entirely.
