Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dma-buf: add reservation_context for deadlock handling

The ww_mutex framework allows for detecting deadlocks when multiple
threads try to acquire the same set of locks in different order.

The problem is that handling those deadlocks was the burden of the user of
the ww_mutex implementation and at least some users didn't got that right
on the first try.

So introduce a new reservation_context object which can be used to
simplify the deadlock handling. This is done by tracking all locked
reservation objects in the context as well as the last contended
reservation object.

When a deadlock occurse we now unlock all previously locked object and
acquire the contended lock in the slow path. After this is done -EDEADLK
is still returned to signal that all other locks now need to be
re-acquired again.
