    lockdep: Make held_lock->check and "int check" argument bool · fb9edbe9

    The "int check" argument of lock_acquire() and held_lock->check are
    misleading. This is actually a boolean: 2 means "true", everything
    else is "false".
    
    And there is no need to pass 1 or 0 to lock_acquire() depending on
    CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, __lock_acquire() checks prove_locking at the
    start and clears "check" if !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING.
    
    Note: probably we can simply kill this member/arg. The only explicit
    user of check => 0 is rcu_lock_acquire(), perhaps we can change it to
    use lock_acquire(trylock =>, read => 2). __lockdep_no_validate means
    check => 0 implicitly, but we can change validate_chain() to check
    hlock->instance->key instead. Not to mention it would be nice to get
    rid of lockdep_set_novalidate_class().
