[Devel] [PATCH -mm 2/3] lockdep: mark rwsem_acquire_read as recursive

rw_semaphore implementation allows recursing calls to down_read, but
lockdep thinks that it doesn't. As a result, it will complain
false-positively, e.g. if we do not observe some predefined locking
order when taking an rw semaphore for reading and a mutex.

This patch makes lockdep think rw semaphore is read-recursive, just like
rw spin lock.
