locking/mutexes: Try to acquire mutex only if it is unlocked

Upon entering the slowpath in __mutex_lock_common(), we try once more to
acquire the mutex. We only try to acquire if (lock->count >= 0). However,
what we actually want here is to try to acquire if the mutex is unlocked
(lock->count == 1).

This patch changes it so that we only try-acquire the mutex upon entering
the slowpath if it is unlocked, rather than if the lock count is non-negative.
This helps further reduce unnecessary atomic xchg() operations.

Furthermore, this patch uses !mutex_is_locked(lock) to do the initial
checks for if the lock is free rather than directly calling atomic_read()
on the lock->count, in order to improve readability.
