Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#23397: Avoid excessive lock contention in CCheckQueue::Add

459e208276 Exit early for an empty vChecks in CCheckQueue::Add (Hennadii Stepanov)
c43aa62343 Avoid excessive lock contention in CCheckQueue::Add (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  This PR significantly reduces lock contention in the `CCheckQueue` class by releasing a mutex before calling `std::condition_variable::notify_one` and `std::condition_variable::notify_all`.

  From C++ [docs](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/condition_variable/notify_one):
  > The notifying thread does not need to hold the lock on the same mutex as the one held by the waiting thread(s); in fact doing so is a pessimization, since the notified thread would immediately block again, waiting for the notifying thread to release the lock.

    ACK 459e208, codereview and tested. I first thought this introduced a segfault in `psbt_wallet_tests/psbt_updater_test` because that test failed for me, but thats a different issue fixed in #23403.
