Subject: [PATCH 00/17] Support for read-write lock deadlock detection

Hi Peter and Ingo,

Historically, the read-write locks (recursive-read locks included) are not
well supported in lockdep. This patchset attempts to solve this problem
sound and complete.

The bulk of the algorithm is in patch #10, which is actually not complex at
all. Hopefully, it simply works.

Now that we have read-write locks suppported, we have all the 262 cases
passed, though I have to flip some cases which, I think, are wrong.

P.S. To Boqun, I haven't got time to read your patchset except that I did
carefully read your design doc and learnt from it a lot. It is helpful.
Please give this patchset at least a look.

Thanks,
Yuyang
