Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: Let lock_is_held_type() detect recursive read as
 read

lock_is_held_type(, 1) detects acquired read locks. It only recognized
locks acquired with lock_acquire_shared(). Read locks acquired with
lock_acquire_shared_recursive() are not recognized because a `2' is
stored as the read value.

Rework the check to additionally recognise lock's read value one and two
as a read held lock.

Fixes: e918188611f07 ("locking: More accurate annotations for read_lock()")

On a related note: What exactly means read_lock_is_recursive() in terms
of recursive locking? The second items mentions QRW locks. Does this
mean that a pending WRITER blocks further READER from acquiring the
lock?
