lockding/lockdep: Avoid to find wrong lock dep path in check_irq_usage()
In the step #3 of check_irq_usage(), we seach backwards to find a lock whose usage conflicts the usage of @target_entry1 on safe/unsafe. However, we should only keep the irq-unsafe usage of @target_entry1 into consideration, because it could be a case where a lock is hardirq-unsafe but soft-safe, and in check_irq_usage() we find it because its hardirq-unsafe could result into a hardirq-safe-unsafe deadlock, but currently since we don't filter out the other usage bits, so we may find a lock dependency path softirq-unsafe -> softirq-safe, which in fact doesn't cause a deadlock. And this may cause misleading lockdep splats. Fix this by only keeping LOCKF_ENABLED_IRQ_ALL bits when we try the backwards search.
