Subject: [GIT PULL for-3.18 01/13] locking/lockdep: Add nest_lock integrity
 test

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

[ Upstream commit 7fb4a2cea6b18dab56d609530d077f168169ed6b ]

Boqun reported that hlock->references can overflow. Add a debug test
for that to generate a clear error when this happens.

Without this, lockdep is likely to report a mysterious failure on
unlock.
