locking/lockdep: Reuse freed chain_hlocks entries

Once a lock class is zapped, all the lock chains that include the zapped
class are essentially useless. The lock_chain structure itself can be
reused, but not the corresponding chain_hlocks[] entries. Over time,
we will run out of chain_hlocks entries while there are still plenty
of other lockdep array entries available.

To fix this imbalance, we have to make chain_hlocks entries reusable
just like the others. As the freed chain_hlocks entries are in blocks of
various lengths. A simple bitmap like the one used in the other reusable
lockdep arrays isn't applicable. Instead the chain_hlocks entries are
put into bucketed lists (MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS) of chain blocks.  Bucket 0
is the variable size bucket which houses chain blocks of size larger than
MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS sorted in decreasing size order.  Initially, the whole
array is in one chain block (the primordial chain block) in bucket 0.

The minimum size of a chain block is 2 chain_hlocks entries. That will
be the minimum allocation size. In other word, allocation requests
for one chain_hlocks entry will cause 2-entry block to be returned and
hence 1 entry will be wasted.

Allocation requests for the chain_hlocks are fulfilled first by looking
for chain block of matching size. If not found, the first chain block
from bucket[0] (the largest one) is split. That can cause hlock entries
fragmentation and reduce allocation efficiency if a chain block of size >
MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS is ever zapped and put back to after the primordial
chain block. So the MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS must be large enough that this
should seldom happen.

By reusing the chain_hlocks entries, we are able to handle workloads
that add and zap a lot of lock classes without the risk of running out
of chain_hlocks entries as long as the total number of outstanding lock
classes at any time remain within a reasonable limit.

Two new tracking counters, nr_free_chain_hlocks & nr_large_chain_blocks,
are added to track the total number of chain_hlocks entries in the
free bucketed lists and the number of large chain blocks in buckets[0]
respectively. The nr_free_chain_hlocks replaces nr_chain_hlocks.

The nr_large_chain_blocks counter enables to see if we should increase
the number of buckets (MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS) available so as to avoid to
avoid the fragmentation problem in bucket[0].

An internal nfsd test that ran for more than an hour and kept on
loading and unloading kernel modules could cause the following message
to be displayed.

  [ 4318.443670] BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!

The patched kernel was able to complete the test with a lot of free
chain_hlocks entries to spare:

  # cat /proc/lockdep_stats
     :
   dependency chains:                   18867 [max: 65536]
   dependency chain hlocks:             74926 [max: 327680]
   dependency chain hlocks lost:            0
     :
   zapped classes:                       1541
   zapped lock chains:                  56765
   large chain blocks:                      1

By changing MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS to 3 and add a counter for the size of the
largest chain block. The system still worked and We got the following
lockdep_stats data:

   dependency chains:                   18601 [max: 65536]
   dependency chain hlocks used:        73133 [max: 327680]
   dependency chain hlocks lost:            0
     :
   zapped classes:                       1541
   zapped lock chains:                  56702
   large chain blocks:                  45165
   large chain block size:              20165

By running the test again, I was indeed able to cause chain_hlocks
entries to get lost:

   dependency chain hlocks used:        74806 [max: 327680]
   dependency chain hlocks lost:          575
     :
   large chain blocks:                  48737
   large chain block size:                  7

Due to the fragmentation, it is possible that the
"MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" error can happen even if a lot of
of chain_hlocks entries appear to be free.

Fortunately, a MAX_CHAIN_BUCKETS value of 16 should be big enough that
few variable sized chain blocks, other than the initial one, should
ever be present in bucket 0.
