locking/lockdep: Handle non(or multi)-acquisition of a crosslock

No acquisition might be in progress on commit of a crosslock. Completion
operations enabling crossrelease are the case like:

   CONTEXT X                         CONTEXT Y
   ---------                         ---------
   trigger completion context
                                     complete AX
                                        commit AX
   wait_for_complete AX
      acquire AX
      wait

   where AX is a crosslock.

When no acquisition is in progress, we should not perform commit because
the lock does not exist, which might cause incorrect memory access. So
we have to track the number of acquisitions of a crosslock to handle it.

Moreover, in case that more than one acquisition of a crosslock are
overlapped like:

   CONTEXT W        CONTEXT X        CONTEXT Y        CONTEXT Z
   ---------        ---------        ---------        ---------
   acquire AX (gen_id: 1)
                                     acquire A
                    acquire AX (gen_id: 10)
                                     acquire B
                                     commit AX
                                                      acquire C
                                                      commit AX

   where A, B and C are typical locks and AX is a crosslock.

Current crossrelease code performs commits in Y and Z with gen_id = 10.
However, we can use gen_id = 1 to do it, since not only 'acquire AX in X'
but 'acquire AX in W' also depends on each acquisition in Y and Z until
their commits. So make it use gen_id = 1 instead of 10 on their commits,
which adds an additional dependency 'AX -> A' in the example above.
