Unless I'm wrong, ww_mutex_lock() can return -EDEADLK when ctx !=
NULL, in which case, the lock is not held when it returns. Question is,
do we really have a use case for ctx != NULL in that kref_put_ww_mutex()
path. If we need to acquire other ww_locks, this lock, and the other
locks should have been acquired beforehand, and we can simply call
kref_put() when we want to release the ref on the resource.
