[PATCH] mutex: Always clear owner field upon mutex_unlock()

[Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>]

Currently if DEBUG_MUTEXES is enabled, the mutex->owner field is only
cleared iff debug_locks is active. This exposes a race to other users of
the field where the mutex->owner may be still set to a stale value,
potentially upsetting mutex_spin_on_owner() among others.
