locking/mutex: Rework task_struct::blocked_on

Track the blocked-on relation for mutexes, to allow following this
relation at schedule time.

   task
     | blocked-on
     v
   mutex
     | owner
     v
   task

This all will be used for tracking blocked-task/mutex chains
with the prox-execution patch in a similar fashion to how
priority inheritance is done with rt_mutexes.

For serialization, blocked-on is only set by the task itself
(current). And both when setting or clearing (potentially by
others), is done while holding the mutex::wait_lock.

[minor changes while rebasing]
[jstultz: Fix blocked_on tracking in __mutex_lock_common in error paths]
