locking/mutexes: Use MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER when appropriate

4badad35 ("locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some
architectures") added a ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW flag to
disable the mutex optimistic feature on specific archs.

Because CONFIG_MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER only depended on DEBUG and
SMP, it was ok to have the ->owner field conditional a bit
flexible. However by adding a new variable to the matter,
we can waste space with the unused field, ie: CONFIG_SMP &&
(!CONFIG_MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER && !CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEX).
