Subject: [RFC tip/locking v2 08/13] lockdep: Fix recursive read lock related safe->unsafe detection

There are four cases for recursive read lock realted deadlocks:

(--(X..Y)--> means a strong dependency path starts with a --(X*)-->
dependency and ends with a --(*Y)-- dependency.)

1.	An irq-safe lock L1 has a dependency --(*..*)--> to an
	irq-unsafe lock L2.

2.	An irq-read-safe lock L1 has a dependency --(N..*)--> to an
	irq-unsafe lock L2.

3.	An irq-safe lock L1 has a dependency --(*..N)--> to an
	irq-read-unsafe lock L2.

4.	An irq-read-safe lock L1 has a dependency --(N..N)--> to an
	irq-read-unsafe lock L2.

The current check_usage() only checks 1) and 2), so this patch adds
checks for 3) and 4) and makes sure when find_usage_{back,for}wards find
an irq-read-{,un}safe lock, the traverse path should ends at a
dependency --(*N)-->. Note when we search backwards, --(*N)--> indicates
a real dependency --(N*)-->.
