[PATCH] lockdep: allow read_lock() recursion of same class
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
lockdep so far only allowed read-recursion for the same lock instance.
This is enough in the overwhelming majority of cases, but a hostap case
triggered and reported by Miles Lane relies on same-class
different-instance recursion. So we relax the restriction on read-lock
recursion.
(This change does not allow rwsem read-recursion, which is still
forbidden.)
