c4be9cb4f1 lglock: Update lockdep annotations to report recursive local locks
Oleg Nesterov recently noticed that the lockdep annotations in lglock.c
are not sufficient to detect some obvious deadlocks, such as
lg_local_lock(LOCK) + lg_local_lock(LOCK) or spin_lock(X) +
lg_local_lock(Y) vs lg_local_lock(Y) + spin_lock(X).

Both issues are easily fixed by indicating to lockdep that lglock's local
locks are not recursive.  We shouldn't use the rwlock acquire/release
functions here, as lglock doesn't share the same semantics.  Instead we
can base our lockdep annotations on the lock_acquire_shared (for local
lglock) and lock_acquire_exclusive (for global lglock) helpers.

I am not proposing new lglock specific helpers as I don't see the point of
the existing second level of helpers :)

eea62f831b brlocks/lglocks: turn into functions
lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h.  But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.

Since there are at least two users it makes sense to share this code in a
library.  This is also easier maintainable than a macro forest.

This will also make it later possible to dynamically allocate lglocks and
also use them in modules (this would both still need some additional, but
now straightforward, code)
