Subject: [RFC tip/locking/lockdep v5 15/17] lockdep: Reduce the size of lock_list

We actually only need 4 bits for lock_list::dep and 1 bit for
lock_list::is_rr, besides lock_list::distance should always be no
greater than MAX_LOCKDEP_DEPTH(which is 48 right now), so a u16 will
fit, this patch then reduces the sizes of those fields to save space for
lock_list structure, as a result we can reduce the size increment
introduced by recursive read lock detection and keep the lock_list the
same size as before.
