Sorry, I'll resend the patches and provide a elaborate changlogs.

gains:
        1), avoid to allocate the bfs_accessed array;

        2), remove the
                    bitmap_zero(bfs_accessed, MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES);
              in each BFS, which is a little time consuming since
MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES
              is very large.(16384UL)
