This will break the docs, since LockSet is introduced in the next commit.
Perhaps add this last paragraph in the next commit?

nit: can you keep this last? Let’s not start a #[repr(C)] struct with a ZST if we can help it.

nit: can you move this implementation to be after the fully generic one?

Then why have this? Apparently there’s only a handful of users in the entire kernel?

The caller must ensure that the ww_mutex is indeed locked, as an invariant of
Guards is that they’re acquired by locking the underlying synchronization
primitive.

Not if you call from_raw() on an unlocked ww_mutex.

Same here.

Same here. Also, unlocking mutex that was not locked in the first place would
possibly have some unintended consequences.
