In some cases SCST needs to take multiple locks recursivly, e.g. to lock
all tgt_devs in a session. For this case SCST takes those locks in their
current sort order, e.g. by LUN for tgt_devs, then releases in the
opposite order. Unfortunately, lockdep complains on such actions as
recursive locking, then disables itself. The disabling itself action is
the most unpleasant one leading to lockdep being useless after this point.
Unfortunately, nested locking annotations can't help, because after
free, then alloc again, or after LUN change (in case of tgt_devs) order
of locks can change.
So, this patch implements a way to annotate some lock and unlock actions
as "no lockdep", so lockdep will not track them. It contains related
kernel patches for some kernels.
This is a debug aid only useful only with lockdep enabled kernels.

r7050 did not change any behavior so revert it. Note for myself: in the
ib_srpt driver the port number is set by the ib_modify_qp() call in
srpt_init_ch_qp().

It is likely that ib_device.dma_ops will be removed sooner or later.
Hence make sure that the ib_srpt driver does not depend on it.

This avoids that the SCST RPM conflicts with other kernel RPMs
that install kernel modules in the "extra" directory. Reported
and suggested by Consus <consus@gmx.com>.

Otherwise there is non-fatal error like: No such file or directory
grep: /lib/modules/<current_running_kernel>/build/.config: Permission denied
This is a better version of r7022 suggested by Bart

Running "make install" ensures that the kernel config file is available
in $(KDIR)/.config. However, that file is not available if $(KDIR) points
at a kernel that comes from a Linux distributor. Hence change the
$(INFINIBAND_ENABLED) test to check $(KDIR)/../modules.symbols.

Revert r7022 because:
* Changing $kver3 into $kver is wrong for 2.x kernels.
* Building include/iscsi_scst_itf_ver.h must not depend on the kernel version.
