lockdep: Print a nicer description for irq inversion bugs

Irq inversion and irq dependency bugs are only subtly
different. The diffenerence lies where the interrupt occurred.

For irq dependency:

	irq_disable
	lock(A)
	lock(B)
	unlock(B)
	unlock(A)
	irq_enable

	lock(B)
	unlock(B)

 	<interrupt>
	  lock(A)

The interrupt comes in after it has been established that lock A
can be held when taking an irq unsafe lock. Lockdep detects the
problem when taking lock A in interrupt context.

With the irq_inversion the irq happens before it is established
and lockdep detects the problem with the taking of lock B:

 	<interrupt>
	  lock(A)

	irq_disable
	lock(A)
	lock(B)
	unlock(B)
	unlock(A)
	irq_enable

	lock(B)
	unlock(B)

Since the problem with the locking logic for both of these issues
is in actuality the same, they both should report the same scenario.
This patch implements that and prints this:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &rq->lock --> lockA --> lockC

 Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(lockC);
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(&rq->lock);
                               lock(lockA);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(&rq->lock);
