Make MAX_LOCK_DEPTH configurable. It is set to 48 right now. Number of

lockdep currently allows max of 63 held_locks.
But why a config knob? Why not just raise the number to 64
unconditionally? And is that sufficient; you only state 48 is
insufficient, you don't actually state the VF limit.
I did not want to change the default configuration for everyone.
I will change it 63 unconditionally in v2 and resubmit the series.
