While adding our task as a waiter, detect if another task should back off because of us. With this patch, we establish the invariant that the wait list contains at most one (sleeping) waiter with ww_ctx->acquired > 0, and this waiter will be the first waiter with a context. Since only waiters with ww_ctx->acquired > 0 have to back off, this allows us to be much more economical with wakeups.
