The current lockdep_set_novalidate_class() implementation is like
a hack. It assigns a special class key for that lock and calls
lockdep_init_map() twice.
This patch changes the implementation to make it as a flag bit instead.
This will allow other special locking class types to be defined and
used in the lockdep code. A new "type" field is added to both the
lockdep_map and lock_class structures.
The new field can now be used to designate a lock and a class object
as novalidate. The lockdep_set_novalidate_class() call, however, should
be called only after lock initialization which calls lockdep_init_map().
For 64-bit architectures, the new type field won't increase the size
of the lock_class structure. The lockdep_map structure won't change as
well for 64-bit architectures with CONFIG_LOCK_STAT configured.
Please note that lockdep_set_novalidate_class() should not be used at
all unless there is overwhelming reason to do so. Hopefully we can
retired it in the near future.
