John Stultz b63343207d locktorture: Add nested_[un]lock() hooks and nlocks parameter
In order to extend locktorture to support lock nesting, add
nested_lock() and nested_unlock() hooks to the torture ops.

These take a 32bit lockset mask which is generated at random,
so some number of locks will be taken before the main lock is
taken and released afterwards.

Additionally, add nested_locks module parameter to allow
specifying the number of nested locks to be used.

This has been helpful to uncover issues in the proxy-exec
series development.

This was inspired by locktorture extensions originally implemented
by Connor O'Brien, for stress testing the proxy-execution series:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
