[PATCH v2 08/17] locking/lockdep: Add support for nestable terminal locks

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

There are use cases where we want to allow nesting of one terminal lock
underneath another terminal-like lock. That new lock type is called
nestable terminal lock which can optionally allow the acquisition of
no more than one regular (non-nestable) terminal lock underneath it.
