[PATCH v7 9/9] lib/dlock-list: Unique lock class key for each allocation call site

[Waiman Long <longman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Boqun Feng has kindly pointed out that the same lock class key is
used for all the dlock-list allocation. That can be a problem in case
a task need to acquire the locks of more than one dlock-list at the
same time with lockdep enabled.

To avoid this problem, the alloc_dlock_list_heads() function is
changed to use a different lock class key for each of its call sites
in the kernel.
