This ended up causing some noise in places such as rxrpc running in softirq.
The warning is misleading in this case as the mutex trylock and unlock
operations are done within the same context; and therefore we need not
worry about the PI-boosting issues that comes along with no single-owner
lock guarantees.
While we don't want to support this in mutexes, there is no way out of
this yet; so lets get rid of the WARNs for now, as it is only fair to
code that has historically relied on non-preemptible softirq guarantees.
In addition, changing the lock type is also unviable: exclusive rwsems
have the same issue (just not the WARN_ON) and counting semaphores
would introduce a performance hit as mutexes are a lot more optimized.

The patch moving bits into mutex.c was a little too much; by also
moving struct mutex_waiter a few less common CONFIGs would no longer
build.

__mutex_owner() should only be used by the mutex api's.
So, to put this restiction let's move the __mutex_owner()
function definition from linux/mutex.h to mutex.c file.
There exist functions that uses __mutex_owner() like
mutex_is_locked() and mutex_trylock_recursive(), So
to keep legacy thing intact move them as well and
export them.
Move mutex_waiter structure also to keep it private to the
file.

Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the
kernel development book where it belongs.
Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly
parse the text file, as they're already in good shape,
not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

The current Wound-Wait mutex algorithm is actually not Wound-Wait but
Wait-Die. Implement also Wound-Wait as a per-ww-class choice. Wound-Wait
is, contrary to Wait-Die a preemptive algorithm and is known to generate
fewer backoffs. Testing reveals that this is true if the
number of simultaneous contending transactions is small.
As the number of simultaneous contending threads increases, Wait-Wound
becomes inferior to Wait-Die in terms of elapsed time.
Possibly due to the larger number of held locks of sleeping transactions.
Update documentation and callers.

659cf9f582 ("locking/ww_mutex: Optimize ww-mutexes by waking at most one waiter for backoff when acquiring the lock")
I replaced a comment with a lockdep_assert_held(). However it turns out
we hide that lock from lockdep for hysterical raisins, which results
in the assertion always firing.
Remove the old debug code as lockdep will easily spot the abuse it was
meant to catch, which will make the lock visible to lockdep and make
the assertion work as intended.

In the following scenario, thread #1 should back off its attempt to lock
ww1 and unlock ww2 (assuming the acquire context stamps are ordered
accordingly).
Thread #0 Thread #1
--------- ---------
successfully lock ww2
set ww1->base.owner
attempt to lock ww1
confirm ww1->ctx == NULL
enter mutex_spin_on_owner
set ww1->ctx
What was likely to happen previously is:
attempt to lock ww2
refuse to spin because
ww2->ctx != NULL
schedule()
detect thread #0 is off CPU
stop optimistic spin
return -EDEADLK
unlock ww2
wakeup thread #0
lock ww2
Now, we are more likely to see:
detect ww1->ctx != NULL
stop optimistic spin
return -EDEADLK
unlock ww2
successfully lock ww2
... because thread #1 will stop its optimistic spin as soon as possible.
The whole scenario is quite unlikely, since it requires thread #1 to get
between thread #0 setting the owner and setting the ctx. But since we're
idling here anyway, the additional check is basically free.
Found by inspection.
