lockdep: Print a nicer description for simple irq lock inversions

Lockdep output can be pretty cryptic, having nicer output
can save a lot of head scratching. When a simple irq inversion
scenario is detected by lockdep (lock A taken in interrupt
context but also in thread context without disabling interrupts)
we now get the following (hopefully more informative) output:

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(lockA);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(lockA);

 *** DEADLOCK ***
