This takes extra space for storing the type of dependencies. In my
previous patchset, only 2bits are used, because you only need to care
about four types of dependencies:
1. Exclusive -> Recursive
2. Shared (read or recursive read) -> Recursive
3. Exclusize -> Non-Recursive (write or non-recursive readers)
4. Shared (read or recursive read) -> Non-Recursive
To understand why, here are my slides for Linux Plumber Conference last
year:
https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/2/contributions/74/attachments/67/78/Recursive_read_deadlocks_and_Where_to_find_them.pdf
And we can steal two bits from "distance", since 2^30 would be enough.
I think it's important to save the size of lock_list since we will have
a lot of them.
