Subject: [PATCH v2] locking/ww_mutex: Initialize waiter.ww_ctx properly

The gathering of the debug code for the ww-mutex initialized moved the
POISON initialiation into one spot and only set waiter.ww_ctx if the
ww_ctx was non-NULL thus keeping the POISON value in ww-mutex case.

For ww-mutex without a context it is expected to set the context to
NULL, the poison value was intended only for the regular mutex.

Always initialized waiter.ww_ctx to ww_ctx in the ww-mutex case.

Fixes: c0afb0ffc06e6 ("locking/ww_mutex: Gather mutex_waiter initialization")
