[PATCH v2] locking/lockdep: make chain-hlocks average depth configurable

The static chain_hlocks[] pool is sized as: MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS = MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS * AVG_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_DEPTH MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS is already tunable via CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS, but AVG_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_DEPTH is hardcoded to 5 and has no Kconfig knob. Workloads that build unusually deep individual lock chains -- rather than simply a large number of distinct chains -- can exhaust chain_hlocks[] and trip: BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low! well before MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS itself is anywhere near full, which silently disables lock debugging for the rest of the boot (debug_locks_off_graph_unlock()). Bumping LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS alone does not help in that case since the bottleneck is chain depth, not chain count. Observed on a PREEMPT_DYNAMIC + RCU lockdep + KASAN debug build, reproducing at every boot from add_chain_cache() failing to allocate out of the static pool, hit from sched wakeup, hrtimer, and btrfs flush-workqueue paths (deep IRQ/softirq nesting stacked on top of deep filesystem/scheduler call chains). Add CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_DEPTH so this can be tuned like LOCKDEP_BITS/LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS, defaulting to 5 to preserve current behavior for everyone who isn't hitting this. struct lock_chain::base is a 24-bit index into chain_hlocks[], and add_chain_cache() enforces that with: BUILD_BUG_ON((1UL << 24) <= ARRAY_SIZE(chain_hlocks)); so MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS * LOCKDEP_CHAIN_DEPTH must stay under 2^24 for every reachable combination, not just the default. LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS goes up to 21, so the new knob's range is capped at 7 -- one more than that would let 2^21 * 8 == 2^24 reach the limit and fail the build at the top of the CHAINS_BITS range. The help text explains the cap instead of pointing people at a combination that can break the build.
