Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] lockdep: document MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS calculation

Define a macro AVG_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_DEPTH to document the magic number '5'
used in the calculation of MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS. The number
represents the estimated average depth (number of locks held) of a lock
chain. The calculation of MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS was first added in
commit 443cd507ce7f ("lockdep: add lock_class information to lock_chain
and output it").
