Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lockdep: fix recursive read lock validation

__lock_acquire( .read = 2 )
hlock->read = read; /* [1] */
validate_chain()
ret = check_deadlock(); /* returns 2 when recursive */

if (ret == 2)
hlock->read = 2; /* but it was already 2 from [1] */

check_prevs_add()
if (hlock->read != 2)
/* add to dependency chain */

So it will never add a recursive read lock to the dependency chain. Fix this
by setting hlock->read to 1 when its the first recursive lock instance.

This means that the following sequence is now invalid, whereas previously
it was considered valid:

rlock(a); rlock(b); runlock(b); runlock(a)
rlock(b); rlock(a);

It really is invalid when considered against write locks.
