Subject: [PATCH 1/4] locking/ww_mutex: Simplify use_ww_ctx & ww_ctx handling

The use_ww_ctx flag is passed to mutex_optimistic_spin(), but the
function doesn't use it. The frequent use of the (use_ww_ctx && ww_ctx)
combination is repetitive.

In fact, ww_ctx should not be used at all if !use_ww_ctx.  Simplify
ww_mutex code by dropping use_ww_ctx from mutex_optimistic_spin() an
clear ww_ctx if !use_ww_ctx. In this way, we can replace (use_ww_ctx &&
ww_ctx) by just (ww_ctx).
