Subject: [PATCH] locking/lockdep: Add # of dynamic keys stat to /proc/lockdep_stats

There have been recent reports about running out of lockdep keys
(MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS too low!). One possible reason is that too many
dynamic keys have been registered. A possible culprit is the
lockdep_register_key() call in qdisc_alloc() of net/sched/sch_generic.c.

Currently, there is no way to find out how many dynamic keys have been
registered. Add such a stat to the /proc/lockdep_stats to get better
clarity.
