locking/mutex: Break out of expensive busy-loop on {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner() when owner vCPU is preempted

An over-committed guest with more vCPUs than pCPUs has a heavy overload
in the two spin_on_owner. This blames on the lock holder preemption
issue.

Break out of the loop if the vCPU is preempted: if vcpu_is_preempted(cpu)
is true.

test-case:
perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report
