The block condition matrix is using 'E' as the writer notation,
however, the writer reminder below the matrix is using 'W', to make
them consistent and make the matrix more readable, we'd better to use
'W' to represent writer.

There are several warnings caused by a recent change
224ec489d3cd ("lockdep/Documention: Recursive read lock detection reasoning")
Those are reported by htmldocs build:
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:429: WARNING: Definition list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:452: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:453: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:453: WARNING: Blank line required after table.
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:454: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:455: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:455: WARNING: Blank line required after table.
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:456: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:457: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst:457: WARNING: Blank line required after table.
Besides the reported issues, there are some missing blank
lines that ended producing wrong html output, and some
literals are not properly identified.
Also, the symbols used at the irq enabled/disable table
are not displayed as expected, as they're not literals.
Also, on another table they're using a different notation.

This patch add the documentation piece for the reasoning of deadlock
detection related to recursive read lock. The following sections are
added:
* Explain what is a recursive read lock, and what deadlock cases
they could introduce.
* Introduce the notations for different types of dependencies, and
the definition of strong paths.
* Proof for a closed strong path is both sufficient and necessary
for deadlock detections with recursive read locks involved. The
proof could also explain why we call the path "strong"

Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the
kernel development book where it belongs.
Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly
parse the text file, as they're already in good shape,
not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
