Subject: [PATCH 3/8] locking/lockdep: Adjust lock usage bit character checks

The lock usage bit characters are defined and determined with tricks. Use a
macro and add some explanation to make it a bit more clear. Then adjust the
logic to check the usage, which optimizes the code a bit.

No functional change.
