NOT FOR INCLUSION
I created this patch as a result of Peter Zilstra's request to get more
info from lockdep. This patch is not for inclusion, at least in its
present form, because it adds some redunant info to /proc/lockdep_stats
However, some of the fields are new, and it is worth examining, and / or
applying if you are looking at the MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too big
problem.
I generated this patch against a recent tip/master but it applies without
conflicts to the latest rt kernel as well. Comments are welcome, in fact
they are appreciated.

Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: Add nr_save_trace_invocations counter
Add the nr_save_trace_invocations counter which counts the number of
time save_trace() is invoked when relevant for trace enteries.
This means, those invocations from mark_lock() and add_lock_to_list()
When called from mark_lock() we break it down into LOCKSTATE categories.
