drm/i915: Fix mutex->owner inspection race under DEBUG_MUTEXES

commit 226e5ae9e5f9108beb0bde4ac69f68fe6210fed9 upstream.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is set, the mutex->owner field is only cleared
if the mutex debugging is enabled which introduces a race in our
mutex_is_locked_by() - i.e. we may inspect the old owner value before it
is acquired by the new task.

This is the root cause of this error:
