Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Improvements to ww_mutex test driver

As part of the proxy-exec work, I've leveraged the ww_mutex test
driver to help stress test the lock handling.

Two of these patches I've sent a few times without any
response[1], but after realizing the test wasn't exercising the
wait-wound class mutexes (only wait-die), I've extended the test
driver to now do both. This helps make sure there is more
confidence in any changes being made.

I've reworked my older changes ontop of that and wanted to send
them all out for consideration.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
