lockdep: Print a nicer description for simple deadlocks
Lockdep output can be pretty cryptic, having nicer output
can save a lot of head scratching. When a simple deadlock
scenario is detected by lockdep (lock A -> lock A) we now
get the following new output:
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
