Currently, lockdep only has limit support for deadlock detection for recursive read locks. This patch support deadlock detection for recursive read locks. The basic idea is: We are about to add dependency B -> A in to the dependency graph, we use check_noncircular() to find whether we have a strong dependency path A -> .. -> B so that we have a strong dependency circle (a closed strong dependency path): A -> .. -> B -> A , which doesn't have two adjacent dependencies as -(*R)-> L -(S*)->. Since A -> .. -> B is already a strong dependency path, so if either B -> A is -(E*)-> or A -> .. -> B is -(*N)->, the circle A -> .. -> B -> A is strong, otherwise not. So we introduce a new match function hlock_conflict() to replace the class_equal() for the deadlock check in check_noncircular().
