Subject: [PATCH 1/4] locking/ww_mutex: add ww_mutex_is_owned_by function v3

amdgpu needs to verify if userspace sends us valid addresses and the simplest
way of doing this is to check if the buffer object is locked with the ticket
of the current submission.

Clean up the access to the ww_mutex internals by providing a function
for this and extend the check to the thread owning the underlying mutex.

v2: split amdgpu changes into separate patch as suggested by Alex
v3: change logic as suggested by Daniel
