[PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging
Generic lock debugging:
 - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
   subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
 - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
   the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
   hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
 - ability to do silent tests
 - check lock freeing in vfree too.
 - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
   turn off more expensive debugging features.
There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
classes.  (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
checks whether we are holding a lock already)
Here are the current debugging options:
CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
which do:
 config DEBUG_MUTEXES
          bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
 config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
         bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes"
