Oleg Nesterov recently noticed that the lockdep annotations in lglock.c
are not sufficient to detect some obvious deadlocks, such as
lg_local_lock(LOCK) + lg_local_lock(LOCK) or spin_lock(X) +
lg_local_lock(Y) vs lg_local_lock(Y) + spin_lock(X).
Both issues are easily fixed by indicating to lockdep that lglock's local
locks are not recursive. We shouldn't use the rwlock acquire/release
functions here, as lglock doesn't share the same semantics. Instead we
can base our lockdep annotations on the lock_acquire_shared (for local
lglock) and lock_acquire_exclusive (for global lglock) helpers.
I am not proposing new lglock specific helpers as I don't see the point of
the existing second level of helpers :)
