Recently a few direct accesses to the thread_info in the task structure snuck
back, so this wraps them with the appropriate wrapper.

md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain. This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.
I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen. However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.
So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock. This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

Generic lock debugging:
- generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
- got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
- ability to do silent tests
- check lock freeing in vfree too.
- more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
turn off more expensive debugging features.
There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
checks whether we are holding a lock already)
Here are the current debugging options:
CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
which do:
config DEBUG_MUTEXES
bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes"

Rename DEBUG_WARN_ON() to the less generic DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON() name, so that
it's clear that this is a lock-debugging internal mechanism.

It seems ppc64 wants to lock mutexes in early bootup code, with interrupts
disabled, and they expect interrupts to stay disabled, else they crash.
Work around this bug by making mutex debugging variants save/restore irq
flags.

Call the mutex slowpath more conservatively - e.g. FRAME_POINTERS can
change the calling convention, in which case a direct branch to the
slowpath becomes illegal. Bug found by Hugh Dickins.
