PthreadLockChecker's double-locking detection doesn't support recursive locks #10790

Version trunk

Extended Description

PthreadLockChecker emits a warning when a locking function is called on the same lock twice. However, POSIX mutexes can be recursive locks (PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE), which would make these warnings false positives.

Since the code just went into trunk, there's no demand for a fix right now, but it's a known limitation, to be sure.
