For some reason this patch appears to make lib/locking-selftest.c really
unhappy.

I get endless streams of:

../lib/locking-selftest.c: In function ‘ww_test_fail_acquire’:
../lib/locking-selftest.c:1141:6: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
  ret = WWL(&o, &t);
      ^

Apparently GCC gets confused about __much_check on inline functions or
something, or I got the patch wrong.
