[PATCH v4 2/9] liblockdep: Wrap kernel/lockdep.c to allow usage from userspace

kernel/lockdep.c deals with validating locking scenarios for various architectures supported by the kernel. There isn't anything kernel specific going on in lockdep, and when we compare userspace to other architectures that don't have to deal with irqs such as s390, they become all too similar. We
