rcu: Reject RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() false positives

If another lockdep report runs concurrently with an RCU lockdep report
from RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(), the following sequence of events can occur:

1.	debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() sees that lockdep is enabled
	when called from (say) synchronize_rcu().

2.	Lockdep is disabled by a concurrent lockdep report.

3.	debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() evaluates its lockdep-expression
	argument, for example, lock_is_held(&rcu_bh_lock_map).

4.	Because lockdep is now disabled, lock_is_held() plays it safe and
	returns the constant 1.

5.	But in this case, the constant 1 is not safe, because invoking
	synchronize_rcu() under rcu_read_lock_bh() is disallowed.

6.	debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() wrongly invokes lockdep_rcu_suspicious(),
	resulting in a false-positive splat.

This commit therefore changes RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() to check
debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() after checking the lockdep expression,
so that any "safe" returns from lock_is_held() are rejected by
debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled().  This requires memory ordering, which is
supplied by READ_ONCE(debug_locks).  The resulting volatile accesses
prevent the compiler from reordering and the fact that only one variable
is being accessed prevents the underlying hardware from reordering.
The combination works for IA64, which can reorder reads to the same
location, but this is defeated by the volatile accesses, which compile
to load instructions that provide ordering.
