locking/lockdep: Introduce lock_sync()

locking/lockdep: Introduce lock_sync()

Currently, functions like synchronize_srcu() do not have lockdep
annotations resembling those of other write-side locking primitives.
Such annotations might look as follows:

	lock_acquire();
	lock_release();

Such annotations would tell lockdep that synchronize_srcu() acts like
an empty critical section that waits for other (read-side) critical
sections to finish.  This would definitely catch some deadlock, but
as pointed out by Paul Mckenney [1], this could also introduce false
positives because of irq-safe/unsafe detection.  Of course, there are
tricks could help with this:

	might_sleep(); // Existing statement in __synchronize_srcu().
	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING)) {
		local_irq_disable();
		lock_acquire();
		lock_release();
		local_irq_enable();
	}

But it would be better for lockdep to provide a separate annonation for
functions like synchronize_srcu(), so that people won't need to repeat
the ugly tricks above.

Therefore introduce lock_sync(), which is simply an lock+unlock
pair with no irq safe/unsafe deadlock check.  This works because the
to-be-annontated functions do not create real critical sections, and
there is therefore no way that irq can create extra dependencies.
