I've made it like so; does that work? In particular, do the comments
make sense? It is always hard to write these things down.

Subject: locking/lockdep: Test all incompatible scenario at once in check_irq_usage()
From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx>

check_prev_add_irq() tests all incompatible scenarios one after the
other while adding a lock (@next) to a tree dependency (@prev):

LOCK_USED_IN_HARDIRQ vs LOCK_ENABLED_HARDIRQ
LOCK_USED_IN_HARDIRQ_READ vs LOCK_ENABLED_HARDIRQ
LOCK_USED_IN_SOFTIRQ vs LOCK_ENABLED_SOFTIRQ
LOCK_USED_IN_SOFTIRQ_READ vs LOCK_ENABLED_SOFTIRQ

Also for these four scenarios, we must at least iterate the @prev
backward dependency. Then if it matches the relevant LOCK_USED_* bit,
we must also iterate the @next forward dependency.

Therefore in the best case we iterate 4 times, in the worst case 8 times.

A different approach can let us divide the number of branch iterations
by 4:

1) Iterate through @prev backward dependencies and accumulate all the IRQ
uses in a single mask. In the best case where the current lock hasn't
been used in IRQ, we stop here.

2) Iterate through @next forward dependencies and try to find a lock
whose usage is exclusive to the accumulated usages gathered in the
previous step. If we find one (call it @lockA), we have found an
incompatible use, otherwise we stop here. Only bad locking scenario
go further. So a sane verification stop here.

3) Iterate again through @prev backward dependency and find the lock
whose usage matches @lockA in term of incompatibility. Call that
lock @lockB.

4) Report the incompatible usages of @lockA and @lockB

If no incompatible use is found, the verification never goes beyond
step 2 which means at most two iterations.

The following compares the execution measurements of the function
check_prev_add_irq():

Number of calls | Avg (ns) | Stdev (ns) | Total time (ns)
