[ Upstream commit 25016bd7f4caf5fc983bbab7403d08e64cba3004 ]

Qian Cai reported a bug when PROVE_RCU_LIST=y, and read on /proc/lockdep
triggered a warning:

[ ] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirqs_enabled)
...
[ ] Call Trace:
[ ] lock_is_held_type+0x5d/0x150
[ ] ? rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online+0x64/0x80
[ ] rcu_read_lock_any_held+0xac/0x100
[ ] ? rcu_read_lock_held+0xc0/0xc0
[ ] ? __slab_free+0x421/0x540
[ ] ? kasan_kmalloc+0x9/0x10

[ ] ? kvmalloc_node+0x6f/0x80
[ ] __bfs+0x28a/0x3c0
[ ] ? class_equal+0x30/0x30
[ ] lockdep_count_forward_deps+0x11a/0x1a0

The warning got triggered because lockdep_count_forward_deps() call
__bfs() without current->lockdep_recursion being set, as a result
a lockdep internal function (__bfs()) is checked by lockdep, which is
unexpected, and the inconsistency between the irq-off state and the
state traced by lockdep caused the warning.

Apart from this warning, lockdep internal functions like __bfs() should
always be protected by current->lockdep_recursion to avoid potential
deadlocks and data inconsistency, therefore add the
current->lockdep_recursion on-and-off section to protect __bfs() in both
lockdep_count_forward_deps() and lockdep_count_backward_deps()
