    locking/mutex: Further simplify mutex_spin_on_owner() · 01ac33c1

    Similar to what Linus suggested for rwsem_spin_on_owner(), in
    mutex_spin_on_owner() instead of having while (true) and
    breaking out of the spin loop on lock->owner != owner, we can
    have the loop directly check for while (lock->owner == owner) to
    improve the readability of the code.
    
    It also shrinks the code a bit:
    
       text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       3721       0       0    3721     e89 mutex.o.before
       3705       0       0    3705     e79 mutex.o.after
