Subject: [PATCH v1 3/4] locking/mutex: Add mutex_nest_1() scoped guard

Several places use a mutex with SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING, but there is no
proper way to use a scoped guard with that.

Add a mutex_nest_1() scoped guard that call metex_lock() with
SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING (defined in lockdep.h).

This will initially by used by Landlock in a following commit.
