rcu: optionally leave lockdep enabled after RCU lockdep splat

There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat,
so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference().
To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined
rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that
a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can
be detected per boot.

This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY,
which is disabled by default.  This provides the normal lockdep behavior
by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep
splats per boot to easily do so.

By itself, PROVE_RCU will disable checking upon issuing the
first warning (or "splat"). This feature prevents such
disabling, allowing multiple RCU-lockdep warnings to be printed
on a single reboot.
