Subject: [PATCH v4 06/15] locking/lockdep: Make it easy to detect whether or not inside a selftest

The patch that frees unused lock classes will modify the behavior of
lockdep_free_key_range() and lockdep_reset_lock() depending on whether
or not these functions are called from the context of the lockdep
selftests. Hence make it easy to detect whether or not lockdep code
is called from the context of a lockdep selftest.
