kernel/locking: Add context to ww_mutex_trylock()
i915 will soon gain an eviction path that trylock a whole lot of locks
for eviction, getting dmesg failures like below:

  BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!
  turning off the locking correctness validator.
  depth: 48  max: 48!

  INFO: lockdep is turned off.

Fixing eviction to nest into ww_class_acquire is a high priority, but
it requires a rework of the entire driver, which can only be done one
step at a time.

As an intermediate solution, add an acquire context to
ww_mutex_trylock, which allows us to do proper nesting annotations on
the trylocks, making the above lockdep splat disappear.

This is also useful in regulator_lock_nested, which may avoid dropping
regulator_nesting_mutex in the uncontended path, so use it there.

TTM may be another user for this, where we could lock a buffer in a
fastpath with list locks held, without dropping all locks we hold.
