Code using ww_mutexes typically by design have a number of
such mutexes sharing the same ww_class, and within a ww transaction
they are all lockdep annotated using a nest_lock which means
that multiple ww_mutexes of the same lockdep class may be locked at
the same time. That means that lock_is_held() returns true and
lockdep_assert_held() doesn't fire as long as there is a *single*
ww_mutex held of the same class. IOW within a WW transaction.

Code using these mutexes typically want to assert that individual
ww_mutexes are held. Not that any ww_mutex of the same class is
held.

Introduce functions that can be used for that.

RFC: Placement of the functions? lockdep.c? Are the #ifdefs testing for
the correct config?
