$ git grep -w ww_acquire_done '**c'|wc -l
11
$ git grep -w ww_acquire_fini '**c'|wc -l
33

The above statistics show that there are more cases where
ww_acquire_done() is not called rather than cases where
ww_acquire_done() is called.

Maarten, since you introduced the ww_mutex code, do you perhaps prefer
that calling ww_acquire_done() is optional or rather that all users that
do not call ww_acquire_done() are modified such that they call
ww_acquire_done()? The full email conversation is available here:
