Subject: [PATCH v3 19/30] locking/lockdep: Update direct dependency's read-write type if it exists

When adding a dependency, if the dependency exists the dependency's
read-write type will be "upgraded" if the new dependency has more
exclusive lock types. The order toward more exclusiveness: recursive
read -> read -> write.
