you told me that there is already an issue in this patch even w/o PE
when running `insmod /lib/modules/test-ww_mutex.ko`.

The issue is related to Connor's version (1):

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221003214501.2050087-2-connoro@xxxxxxxxxx

  struct ww_acquire_ctx {

	  struct wake_q_head wake_q;


  __mutex_lock_common()

    if (ww_ctx)
        ww_ctx_wake(ww_ctx)

          wake_up_q(&ww_ctx->wake_q);
          wake_q_init(&ww_ctx->wake_q);


Juri's version (2):

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181009092434.26221-3-juri.lelli@xxxxxxxxxx

  __mutex_lock_common()

      DEFINE_WAKE_Q(wake_q) <-- !!!

      __ww_mutex_check_waiters(..., wake_q)

        __ww_mutex_die(..., wake_q)

          wake_q_add(wake_q, waiter->task)

      wake_up_q(&wake_q)


`insmod /lib/modules/test-ww_mutex.ko` runs fine with (2) but not with
(1) (both w/o the remaining PE patches).

So to test the PE issues we talked about already which come with `[PATCH
v4 09/13] sched: Add proxy execution` and CONFIG_PROXY_EXEC=y we need to
fix (1) or go back to (2).

I haven't found any clues why (2) was changed to (1) so far.
