locking/lockdep: Fix OOO unlock when hlocks need merging



The sequence

	static DEFINE_WW_CLASS(test_ww_class);

	struct ww_acquire_ctx ww_ctx;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_a;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_b;
	struct mutex lock_c;
	struct mutex lock_d;

	ww_acquire_init(&ww_ctx, &test_ww_class);

	ww_mutex_init(&ww_lock_a, &test_ww_class);
	ww_mutex_init(&ww_lock_b, &test_ww_class);

	mutex_init(&lock_c);

	ww_mutex_lock(&ww_lock_a, &ww_ctx);

	mutex_lock(&lock_c);

	ww_mutex_lock(&ww_lock_b, &ww_ctx);

	mutex_unlock(&lock_c);		(*)

	ww_mutex_unlock(&ww_lock_b);
	ww_mutex_unlock(&ww_lock_a);

	ww_acquire_fini(&ww_ctx);

triggers the following WARN in __lock_release() when doing the unlock at *:

	DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(curr->lockdep_depth != depth - 1);

The problem is that the WARN check doesn't take into account the merging
of ww_lock_a and ww_lock_b which results in decreasing curr->lockdep_depth
by 2 not only 1.

Note that the following sequence doesn't trigger the WARN, since there
won't be any hlock merging.

	ww_acquire_init(&ww_ctx, &test_ww_class);

	ww_mutex_init(&ww_lock_a, &test_ww_class);
	ww_mutex_init(&ww_lock_b, &test_ww_class);

	mutex_init(&lock_c);
	mutex_init(&lock_d);

	ww_mutex_lock(&ww_lock_a, &ww_ctx);

	mutex_lock(&lock_c);
	mutex_lock(&lock_d);

	ww_mutex_lock(&ww_lock_b, &ww_ctx);

	mutex_unlock(&lock_d);

	ww_mutex_unlock(&ww_lock_b);
	ww_mutex_unlock(&ww_lock_a);

	mutex_unlock(&lock_c);

	ww_acquire_fini(&ww_ctx);

In general both of the above two sequences are valid and shouldn't
trigger any lockdep warning.

Fix this by taking the decrement due to the hlock merging into account
during lock release and hlock class re-setting. Merging can't happen
during lock downgrading since there won't be a new possibility to merge
hlocks in that case, so add a WARN if merging still happens then.
