debugobjects,locking: Annotate debug_object_fill_pool() wait type violation

There is an explicit wait-type violation in debug_object_fill_pool()
for PREEMPT_RT=n kernels which allows them to more easily fill the
object pool and reduce the chance of allocation failures.

Lockdep's wait-type checks are designed to check the PREEMPT_RT
locking rules even for PREEMPT_RT=n kernels and object to this, so
create a lockdep annotation to allow this to stand.

Specifically, create a 'lock' type that overrides the inner wait-type
while it is held -- allowing one to temporarily raise it, such that
the violation is hidden.
