locking/lockdep, sched/core: Implement a better lock pinning scheme
The problem with the existing lock pinning is that each pin is of
value 1; this mean you can simply unpin if you know its pinned,
without having any extra information.
This scheme generates a random (16 bit) cookie for each pin and
requires this same cookie to unpin. This means you have to keep the
cookie in context.
No objsize difference for !LOCKDEP kernels.
