Subject: [RFC tip/locking/lockdep v5 06/17] lockdep: Support deadlock detection for recursive read in check_noncircular()

Currently, lockdep only has limit support for deadlock detection for
recursive read locks.

The basic idea of the detection is:

Since we make __bfs() able to traverse only the strong dependency paths,
so we report a circular deadlock if we could find a circle of a strong
dependency path.
