    Add lockdep annotations.  Not only this can help to find the potential
    problems, we do not want the false warnings if, say, the task takes two
    different percpu_rw_semaphore's for reading.  IOW, at least ->rw_sem
    should not use a single class.
    
    This patch exposes this internal lock to lockdep so that it represents the
    whole percpu_rw_semaphore.  This way we do not need to add another "fake"
    ->lockdep_map and lock_class_key.  More importantly, this also makes the
    output from lockdep much more understandable if it finds the problem.
    
    In short, with this patch from lockdep pov percpu_down_read() and
    percpu_up_read() acquire/release ->rw_sem for reading, this matches the
    actual semantics.  This abuses __up_read() but I hope this is fine and in
    fact I'd like to have down_read_no_lockdep() as well,
    percpu_down_read_recursive_readers() will need it.
