sched: Simplify mutex_spin_on_owner()
It does not make sense to rcu_read_lock/unlock() in every loop iteration while spinning on the mutex. Move the rcu protection outside the loop. Also simplify the return path to always check for lock->owner == NULL which meets the requirements of both owner changed and need_resched() caused loop exits.
