Subject[tip:core/locking] lockdep:reintroduce generation count to make BFS faster
Date
From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com>

We still can apply DaveM's generation count optimization to
BFS, based on the following idea:

.before doing each BFS, increase one to the global generation id;
.if one node in the graph has been visited, marking it as visited
by storing the current global generation id into the node's dep_gen_id field;
.so we can decide if one node is visited by comparing the node's dep_gen_id
with the global genration id.

By applying DaveM's genration count optimization to current implementation of BFS,
we can gains:
.save MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES/8 bytes memory;
.remove the
bitmap_zero(bfs_accessed, MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES);
in each BFS, which is very time-consuming since MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES
may be very large.(16384UL)
