Dept already prevents creating dependencies between different depths of
the class indicated by *_lock_nested() when the lock acquisitions happen
consecutively.

   lock A0 with depth
   lock_nested A1 with depth + 1
   ...
   unlock A1
   unlock A0

Dept does not create A0 -> A1 dependency in this case, either.

However, once another class cut in, the code becomes problematic. When
Dept tries to create real dependencies, it does not only create real
ones but also wrong ones between different depths of the class.

   lock A0 with depth
   lock B
   lock_nested A1 with depth + 1
   ...
   unlock A1
   unlock B
   unlock A0

Even in this case, Dept should not create A0 -> A1 dependency.

So let Dept not create wrong dependencies between different depths of
the class in any case.

Works as expected, Thanks!
I would report if there is anything else interesting.
