🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ww_acquire_fini (struct ww_acquire_ctx *ctx );

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Releases a w/w acquire context. literally just the goodbye part of the whole w/w mutex journey ✨

⚠️ bestie listen to me: this must be called _after_ all acquired w/w mutexes have been released with ww_mutex_unlock. no cap. order matters, do not skip ahead, do not pass go 🙈
