This takes extra space for storing the type of dependencies. In my
previous patchset, only 2bits are used, because you only need to care
about four types of dependencies:

1.	Exclusive -> Recursive
2.	Shared (read or recursive read) -> Recursive
3.	Exclusize -> Non-Recursive (write or non-recursive readers)
4.	Shared (read or recursive read) -> Non-Recursive

To understand why, here are my slides for Linux Plumber Conference last
year:

	https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/2/contributions/74/attachments/67/78/Recursive_read_deadlocks_and_Where_to_find_them.pdf

And we can steal two bits from "distance", since 2^30 would be enough.
I think it's important to save the size of lock_list since we will have
a lot of them.
