rts/NonMovingSweep: Fix locking of new mutable list allocationwip/T17539
Previously we used allocBlockOnNode_sync in nonmovingSweepMutLists despite the fact that we aren't in the GC and therefore the allocation spinlock isn't in use. This meant that sweep would end up spinning until the next minor GC, when the SM lock was moved away from the SM_MUTEX to the spinlock. This isn't a correctness issue but it sure isn't good for performance. Found thanks for Ward. Fixes #17539.
