locking/ww_mutex: Initialize waiter.ww_ctx properly
The consolidation of the debug code for mutex waiter intialization sets waiter::ww_ctx to a poison value unconditionally. For regular mutexes this is intended to catch the case where waiter_ww_ctx is dereferenced accidentally. For ww_mutex the poison value has to be overwritten either with a context pointer or NULL for ww_mutexes without context. The rework broke this as it made the store conditional on the context pointer instead of the argument which signals whether ww_mutex code should be compiled in or optiized out. As a result waiter::ww_ctx ends up with the poison pointer for contextless ww_mutexes which causes a later dereference of the poison pointer because it is != NULL. Use the build argument instead so for ww_mutex the poison value is always overwritten.
