locking/lockdep: Fix bad recursion pattern
There were two patterns for lockdep_recursion: Pattern-A: if (current->lockdep_recursion) return current->lockdep_recursion = 1; /* do stuff */ current->lockdep_recursion = 0; Pattern-B: current->lockdep_recursion++; /* do stuff */ current->lockdep_recursion--; But a third pattern has emerged: Pattern-C: current->lockdep_recursion = 1; /* do stuff */ current->lockdep_recursion = 0; And while this isn't broken per-se, it is highly dangerous because it doesn't nest properly. Get rid of all Pattern-C instances and shore up Pattern-A with a warning.
