[RFC PATCH v1 1/3] locking/lockdep: Fix false warning of check_wait_context()

[Xiongwei Song <sxwjean@me.com>]

From: Xiongwei Song <sxwjean@gmail.com>

We now always get a "Invalid wait context" warning with
CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y, see the full warning below:

In this case the wait type of spin_lock is 3 and the wait type of
raw_spin_lock is 2, meanwhile deactivate_slab call is in hardirq context,
, which is waiting for wait type <= 2, so check_wait_context() will print
this warning. However, spin_lock and raw_spin_lock should be same wait
type in !PREEMPT_RT environment.

Wait type details, with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y:
	LD_WAIT_SPIN   = 2,
	LD_WAIT_CONFIG = 3,
, with !CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING:
	LD_WAIT_CONFIG = LD_WAIT_SPIN = 2,
.

As we know, the semantics of spin_lock will be only changed in PREEMPT_RT
environment, hence the wait type of spin_lock can be bigger than
raw_spin_lock's.

The fix makes CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and
the warning will be fixed.

Furthermore, this warning doesn't exsit in PREEMPT_RT environment. Because
the RT kernel has already replaced all the spin_lock_*() with
raw_spin_lock_*() for the list_lock of node. It means the current wait
type that is in hardirq context is equal to the wait type of raw_spin_lock
in this case.
