lockdep: Print a nicer description for simple irq lock inversions
Lockdep output can be pretty cryptic, having nicer output
can save a lot of head scratching. When a simple irq inversion
scenario is detected by lockdep (lock A taken in interrupt
context but also in thread context without disabling interrupts)
we now get the following (hopefully more informative) output:
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(lockA);
<Interrupt>
lock(lockA);
*** DEADLOCK ***
