locking/rtmutex: Avoid unconditional slowpath for DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES

With DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES enabled the fast-path rt_mutex_cmpxchg_acquire()
always fails and all lock operations take the slow path.

Provide a new helper inline rt_mutex_try_acquire() which maps to
rt_mutex_cmpxchg_acquire() in the non-debug case. For the debug case
it invokes rt_mutex_slowtrylock() which can acquire a non-contended
rtmutex under full debug coverage.

kernel/locking: Use a pointer in ww_mutex_trylock().

mutex_acquire_nest() expects a pointer, pass the pointer.

kernel/locking: Add context to ww_mutex_trylock()

i915 will soon gain an eviction path that trylock a whole lot of locks
for eviction, getting dmesg failures like below:

BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!

INFO: lockdep is turned off.

Fixing eviction to nest into ww_class_acquire is a high priority, but
it requires a rework of the entire driver, which can only be done one
step at a time.

As an intermediate solution, add an acquire context to
ww_mutex_trylock, which allows us to do proper nesting annotations on
the trylocks, making the above lockdep splat disappear.

This is also useful in regulator_lock_nested, which may avoid dropping
regulator_nesting_mutex in the uncontended path, so use it there.

TTM may be another user for this, where we could lock a buffer in a
fastpath with list locks held, without dropping all locks we hold.
