locking/ww_mutex: Initialize waiter.ww_ctx properly

The consolidation of the debug code for mutex waiter intialization sets
waiter::ww_ctx to a poison value unconditionally. For regular mutexes this
is intended to catch the case where waiter_ww_ctx is dereferenced
accidentally.

For ww_mutex the poison value has to be overwritten either with a context
pointer or NULL for ww_mutexes without context.

The rework broke this as it made the store conditional on the context
pointer instead of the argument which signals whether ww_mutex code should
be compiled in or optiized out. As a result waiter::ww_ctx ends up with the
poison pointer for contextless ww_mutexes which causes a later dereference of
the poison pointer because it is != NULL.

Use the build argument instead so for ww_mutex the poison value is always
overwritten.
