locking/lockdep: Free lock classes that are no longer in use
Instead of leaving lock classes that are no longer in use in the lock_classes array, reuse entries from that array that are no longer in use. Maintain a linked list of free lock classes with list head 'free_lock_class'. Only add freed lock classes to the free_lock_classes list after a grace period to avoid that a lock_classes[] element would be reused while an RCU reader is accessing it. Since the lockdep selftests run in a context where sleeping is not allowed and since the selftests require that lock resetting/zapping works with debug_locks off, make the behavior of lockdep_free_key_range() and lockdep_reset_lock() depend on whether or not these are called from the context of the lockdep selftests. Thanks to Peter for having shown how to modify get_pending_free() such that that function does not have to sleep.
