locking/lockdep, sched/core: Implement a better lock pinning scheme
The problem with the existing lock pinning is that each pin is of value 1; this mean you can simply unpin if you know its pinned, without having any extra information. This scheme generates a random (16 bit) cookie for each pin and requires this same cookie to unpin. This means you have to keep the cookie in context. No objsize difference for !LOCKDEP kernels.
