lockdep: Print a nicer description for normal deadlocks

The lockdep output can be pretty cryptic, having nicer output
can save a lot of head scratching. When a normal deadlock
scenario is detected by lockdep (lock A -> lock B and there
exists a place where lock B -> lock A) we now get the following
new output:

other info that might help us debug this:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(lockB);
                               lock(lockA);
                               lock(lockB);
  lock(lockA);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

On cases where there's a deeper chair, it shows the partial
chain that can cause the issue:

Chain exists of:
  lockC --> lockA --> lockB

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(lockB);
                               lock(lockA);
                               lock(lockB);
  lock(lockC);
