Subject: [PATCH] lockdep, rwsem: fix down_write_nest_lock() if
 !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC

Commit 1b963c81b1 ("lockdep, rwsem: provide down_write_nest_lock()") 
contains a bug in a codepath when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is disabled, 
which causes down_read() to be called instead of down_write() by mistake 
on such configurations. Fix that.
