Yeah, it suffers from the same problem though. Lockdep has static
resource allocation and never frees them.

The lock classes are the smallest pool and usually run out first, but
the same could happen for the entries, after all, the more classes we
have the more class connections can happen.

Anyway, barring a leak and silly class mistakes like mentioned in the
document there's nothing we can do except raise the number.
