John Stultz cfa92b6d52 locking/ww_mutex/test: Make sure we bail out instead of livelock
I've seen what appears to be livelocks in the stress_inorder_work()
function, and looking at the code it is clear we can have a case
where we continually retry acquiring the locks and never check to
see if we have passed the specified timeout.

This patch reworks that function so we always check the timeout
before iterating through the loop again.

I believe others may have hit this previously here:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
