I removed all CONFIG_QUEUE_RWLOCK dependencies and made lockdep
unconditionally assume the stronger constraints.

Since we want all code 'clean' for the strongest possible
implementation, everybody should run with those semantics, it doesn't
make sense to have that configurable.

Eg. someone on (say ARM, which doesn't -- yet -- have QUEUE_RWLOCK)
could unwittingly introduce faulty code.
