    locking/ww_mutex: Adjust to lockdep nest_lock requirements
    
    When using mutex_acquire_nest() with a nest_lock, lockdep refcounts the
    number of acquired lockdep_maps of mutexes of the same class, and also
    keeps a pointer to the first acquired lockdep_map of a class. That pointer
    is then used for various comparison-, printing- and checking purposes,
    but there is no mechanism to actively ensure that lockdep_map stays in
    memory. Instead, a warning is printed if the lockdep_map is freed and
    there are still held locks of the same lock class, even if the lockdep_map
    itself has been released.
    
    In the context of WW/WD transactions that means that if a user unlocks
    and frees a ww_mutex from within an ongoing ww transaction, and that
    mutex happens to be the first ww_mutex grabbed in the transaction,
    such a warning is printed and there might be a risk of a UAF.
    
    Note that this is only problem when lockdep is enabled and affects only
    dereferences of struct lockdep_map.
    
    Adjust to this by adding a fake lockdep_map to the acquired context and
    make sure it is the first acquired lockdep map of the associated
    ww_mutex class. Then hold it for the duration of the WW/WD transaction.
    
    This has the side effect that trying to lock a ww mutex *without* a
    ww_acquire_context but where a such context has been acquire, we'd see
    a lockdep splat. The test-ww_mutex.c selftest attempts to do that, so
    modify that particular test to not acquire a ww_acquire_context if it
    is not going to be used.
    
    v2:
    - Lower the number of locks in the test-ww_mutex
      stress(STRESS_ALL) test to accommodate the dummy lock
      introduced in this patch without overflowing lockdep held lock
      references.
    
    v3:
    - Adjust the ww_test_normal locking-api selftest to avoid
      recursive locking (Boqun Feng)
    - Initialize the dummy lock map with LD_WAIT_SLEEP to agree with
      how the corresponding ww_mutex lockmaps are initialized
      (Boqun Feng)
