Teach _check_dmesg to look for improper RCU usage and circular locking
dependency messages. It's useful to check for these as they might point
to a real problem in the filesystem's implementation (or the current
implementation just confuses the checker, probably worth simplifying
the filesystem's implementation).
Currently the test btrfs/071 for example triggers such warnings:
