There are four cases for recursive read lock realted deadlocks: (--(X..Y)--> means a strong dependency path starts with a --(X*)--> dependency and ends with a --(*Y)-- dependency.)
1. An irq-safe lock L1 has a dependency --(*..*)--> to an irq-unsafe lock L2. 2. An irq-read-safe lock L1 has a dependency --(N..*)--> to an irq-unsafe lock L2. 3. An irq-safe lock L1 has a dependency --(*..N)--> to an irq-read-unsafe lock L2. 4. An irq-read-safe lock L1 has a dependency --(N..N)--> to an irq-read-unsafe lock L2. The current check_usage() only checks 1) and 2), so this patch adds checks for 3) and 4) and makes sure when find_usage_{back,for}wards find an irq-read-{,un}safe lock, the traverse path should ends at a dependency --(*N)-->. Note when we search backwards, --(*N)--> indicates a real dependency --(N*)-->.
