locking/ww_mutex: Replace cpu_relax() with cond_resched() for tests

When busy-spinning on a ww_mutex_trylock(), we depend upon the other
thread advancing and releasing the lock. This can not happen on a single
CPU unless we relinquish it:

  [ ] NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [kworker/0:1:18]
