locking: Fix __clear_task_blocked_on() warning from __ww_mutex_wound() path (2025-08-13 10:34:54 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Make sure sanity checks down in the mutex lock path happen on the correct
type of task so that they don't trigger falsely

- Use the write unsafe user access pairs when writing a futex value to prevent
an error on PowerPC which does user read and write accesses differently

----------------------------------------------------------------

locking: Fix __clear_task_blocked_on() warning from __ww_mutex_wound() path
