locking/lockdep: Fix "USED" <- "IN-NMI" inversions



During the LPC RCU BoF Paul asked how come the "USED" <- "IN-NMI"
detector doesn't trip over rcu_read_lock()'s lockdep annotation.

Looking into this I found a very embarrasing typo in
verify_lock_unused():

	-	if (!(class->usage_mask & LOCK_USED))
	+	if (!(class->usage_mask & LOCKF_USED))

fixing that will indeed cause rcu_read_lock() to insta-splat :/

The above typo means that instead of testing for: 0x100 (1 <<
LOCK_USED), we test for 8 (LOCK_USED), which corresponds to (1 <<
LOCK_ENABLED_HARDIRQ).

So instead of testing for _any_ used lock, it will only match any lock
used with interrupts enabled.

The rcu_read_lock() annotation uses .check=0, which means it will not
set any of the interrupt bits and will thus never match.

In order to properly fix the situation and allow rcu_read_lock() to
correctly work, split LOCK_USED into LOCK_USED and LOCK_USED_READ and by
having .read users set USED_READ and test USED, pure read-recursive
locks are permitted.
