[PATCH v4 20/30] locking/lockdep: Update direct dependency's read-write type if it exists

[Yuyang Du]

When adding a dependency, if the dependency exists the dependency's
read-write type will be "upgraded" if the new dependency has more
exclusive lock types. The order toward more exclusiveness is:

    recursive read -> read -> write.
