Subject: [PATCH v3] lockdep: Make MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES configurable.
Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>,
    Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>,
    Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
    Clark Williams <williams@xxxxxxxxxx>,
    Luis Claudio R. Goncalves <lgoncalv@xxxxxxxxxx>,
    Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Certain configurations that have LOCKDEP turned on, run into the limit
where the MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES are too small. Rather than simply
turning of the locking correctness validator let the user configure this
value to something reasonable for their system.

-v2 - generated against tip/master
-v3 - fix compiler warning reported by Andrew Morton in lockdep_proc.c
