Subject: [RFC PATCH 07/12] locking/lockdep: Add support for nested terminal locks

There are use cases where we want to allow 2-level nesting of one
terminal lock underneath another one. So the terminal lock type is now
extended to support a new nested terminal lock where it can allow the
acquisition of another regular terminal lock underneath it.
