Subject: [PATCH v4 07/30] locking/lockdep: Remove indirect dependency redundancy check

Indirect dependency redundancy check was added for cross-release, which has
been reverted. Then suggested by Peter, only when CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL is
set it takes effect.

With (recursive) read-write lock types considered in dependency graph,
indirect dependency redundancy check would be quite complicated to
implement. Lets remove it for good. This inevitably increases the number of
dependencies, but after combining forward and backward dependencies, the
increase will be offset.
