lockdep: Move lock events under lockdep recursion protection

Browse Source 
There are rcu locked read side areas in the path where we submit
a trace event. And these rcu_read_(un)lock() trigger lock events,
which create recursive events.

One pair in do_perf_sw_event:

__lock_acquire
      |
      |--96.11%-- lock_acquire
      |          |
      |          |--27.21%-- do_perf_sw_event
      |          |          perf_tp_event
      |          |          |
      |          |          |--49.62%-- ftrace_profile_lock_release
      |          |          |          lock_release
      |          |          |          |
      |          |          |          |--33.85%-- _raw_spin_unlock

Another pair in perf_output_begin/end:

__lock_acquire
      |--23.40%-- perf_output_begin
      |          |          __perf_event_overflow
      |          |          perf_swevent_overflow
      |          |          perf_swevent_add
      |          |          perf_swevent_ctx_event
      |          |          do_perf_sw_event
      |          |          perf_tp_event
      |          |          |
      |          |          |--55.37%-- ftrace_profile_lock_acquire
      |          |          |          lock_acquire
      |          |          |          |
      |          |          |          |--37.31%-- _raw_spin_lock

The problem is not that much the trace recursion itself, as we have a
recursion protection already (though it's always wasteful to recurse).
But the trace events are outside the lockdep recursion protection, then
each lockdep event triggers a lock trace, which will trigger two
other lockdep events. Here the recursive lock trace event won't
be taken because of the trace recursion, so the recursion stops there
but lockdep will still analyse these new events:

To sum up, for each lockdep events we have:

	lock_*()
	     |
             trace lock_acquire
                  |
                  ----- rcu_read_lock()
                  |          |
                  |          lock_acquire()
                  |          |
                  |          trace_lock_acquire() (stopped)
                  |          |
		  |          lockdep analyze
                  |
                  ----- rcu_read_unlock()
                             |
                             lock_release
                             |
                             trace_lock_release() (stopped)
                             |
                             lockdep analyze

And you can repeat the above two times as we have two rcu read side
sections when we submit an event.

This is fixed in this patch by moving the lock trace event under
the lockdep recursion protection.
