Boqun Feng 0471db447c locking/lockdep: Improve the deadlock scenario print for sync and read lock
Lock scenario print is always a weak spot of lockdep splats. Improvement
can be made if we rework the dependency search and the error printing.

However without touching the graph search, we can improve a little for
the circular deadlock case, since we have the to-be-added lock
dependency, and know whether these two locks are read/write/sync.

In order to know whether a held_lock is sync or not, a bit was
"stolen" from ->references, which reduce our limit for the same lock
class nesting from 2^12 to 2^11, and it should still be good enough.

Besides, since we now have bit in held_lock for sync, we don't need the
"hardirqoffs being 1" trick, and also we can avoid the __lock_release()
if we jump out of __lock_acquire() before the held_lock stored.

With these changes, a deadlock case evolved with read lock and sync gets
a better print-out from:

	[...]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
	[...]
	[...]        CPU0                    CPU1
	[...]        ----                    ----
	[...]   lock(srcuA);
	[...]                                lock(srcuB);
	[...]                                lock(srcuA);
	[...]   lock(srcuB);

	[...]   rlock(srcuA);
