locking/lockdep: Detect and handle hist_lock ring buffer overwrite
The ring buffer can be overwritten by hardirq/softirq/work contexts. That cases must be considered on rollback or commit. For example, |<------ hist_lock ring buffer size ----->| ppppppppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii wrapped > iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.................... where 'p' represents an acquisition in process context, 'i' represents an acquisition in irq context. On irq exit, crossrelease tries to rollback idx to original position, but it should not because the entry already has been invalid by overwriting 'i'. Avoid rollback or commit for entries overwritten.
