alternative to #3638. this is theoretically better for side-by-side diffs. in
practice it may make other diffs worse since all the \'s change when part of the
macro change.

With a contended unique lock, we forgot to reset the `Expected` value to
zero. This was causing a contended mutex to incorrectly succeed.
Noticed this when converting some pthread mutexes over to spinloops to
remove strace noise.
The reference wfe_mutex library I wrote didn't have this problem since
the implementation is slightly different.
We had a chance of doing an additional bogus wfe if the expected value
was hit in one iteration of a loop. Not the biggest problem on current
hardware where WFE only ever sleeps for 1-4 system cycles, but on future
hardware where WFE might actually sleep for longer then this could have
been an issue.
