Add checking of lock recursion to the hypervisor. This is done by using
a percpu data array for storing the address of each taken lock. Any
attempt to take a lock twice (with the exception of recursive
spinlocks) will result in a crash. This is especially meant for
detecting attempts to take a rwlock multiple times as a reader, which
will only result in a deadlock in case of another cpu trying to get the
lock as a writer in between.
The additional checks are not performance neutral, so they are enabled
only in debug builds per default, as the checks are active only with
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKS enabled. The size of the percpu data array can be
selected via a boot parameter.
