Urgh, yeah. Also, I suppose that if we already own it, we'll just fail
the trylock anyway. Let me take this out.

This is actually critical, because if this trylock is the first lock
acquisition for the context, there won't be any other opportunity to
reset this value.

i915 will soon gain an eviction path that trylock a whole lot of locks
for eviction, getting dmesg failures like below:

  BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!

  INFO: lockdep is turned off.

Fixing eviction to nest into ww_class_acquire is a high priority, but
it requires a rework of the entire driver, which can only be done one
step at a time.

As an intermediate solution, add an acquire context to
ww_mutex_trylock, which allows us to do proper nesting annotations on
the trylocks, making the above lockdep splat disappear.

This is also useful in regulator_lock_nested, which may avoid dropping
regulator_nesting_mutex in the uncontended path, so use it there.

TTM may be another user for this, where we could lock a buffer in a
fastpath with list locks held, without dropping all locks we hold.
