Chris Wilson reported a problem spotted by check_chain_key(): a chain
key got changed in validate_chain() because we modify the ->read in
validate_chain() to skip checks for dependency adding, and ->read is
taken into calculation for chain key since commit f611e8cf98
("lockdep: Take read/write status in consideration when generate
chainkey").
Fix this by avoiding to modify ->read in validate_chain() based on two
facts: a) since we now support recursive read lock detection, there is
no need to skip checks for dependency adding for recursive readers, b)
since we have a), there is only one case left (nest_lock) where we want
to skip checks in validate_chain(), we simply remove the modification
for ->read and rely on the return value of check_deadlock() to skip the
dependency adding.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
