Subject: [PATCH v3 15/18] locking/lockdep: Avoid constant checks in __bfs by using offset reference

In search of a dependency in the lock graph, there is contant checks for
forward or backward search. Directly reference the field offset of the
struct that differentiates the type of search to avoid those checks.

No functional change.
