driver-core, libnvdimm: Let device subsystems add local lockdep coverage
For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to
describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks.
However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock()
ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead,
introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem
can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired.
A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a
lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The
debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and
stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy.
Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other
subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg:
"Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up
using it as much as anything else, so user beware :)
I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."
