Applied, thanks Waiman.

I kept these two fixes in locking/urgent, for a v5.12 merge:

  bee645788e07: ("locking/ww_mutex: Fix acquire/release imbalance in 
ww_acquire_init()/ww_acquire_fini()")
  5de2055d31ea: ("locking/ww_mutex: Simplify use_ww_ctx & ww_ctx handling")

As this bug could affect actual ww_mutex users.

And queued up these four in locking/core, for a v5.13 merge:

  8c52cca04f97: ("locking/locktorture: Fix incorrect use of ww_acquire_ctx in 
ww_mutex test")
  aa3a5f31877e: ("locking/locktorture: Pass thread id to lock/unlock functions")
  5261ced47f8e: ("locking/ww_mutex: Remove DEFINE_WW_MUTEX() macro")
  2ea55bbba23e: ("locking/locktorture: Fix false positive circular locking 
splat in ww_mutex test")

As these bugs are basically limited to a debugging facility.

( But we could also merge them into v5.12, if you think it's 
  justified. No strong opinions either way. )

Thanks,

        Ingo
