locking/ww_mutex: Treat ww_mutex_lock() like a trylock
It was found that running the ww_mutex_lock-torture test produced the
following lockdep splat almost immediately:

[ 103.892765] ---- ----

[ 103.892770] lock(torture_ww_mutex_0.base);
[ 103.892772] lock(torture_ww_mutex_2.base);
[ 103.892774]
[ 103.892774] *** DEADLOCK ***
Since ww_mutex is supposed to be deadlock-proof if used properly, such
deadlock scenario should not happen. To avoid this false positive splat,
treat ww_mutex_lock() like a trylock().
After applying this patch, the locktorture test can run for a long time
without triggering the circular locking dependency splat.
