driver-core, libnvdimm: Let device subsystems add local lockdep coverage
For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks. However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock() ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead, introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired. A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy. Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg: "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up using it as much as anything else, so user beware :) I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."
