lockdep: Support deadlock detection for recursive read locks in check_noncircular()

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().
