[RESEND PATCH 01/11] kernel:lockdep:print the shortest dependency chain if finding a circle

[tom.leiming@gmail.com]

From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com>

Currently lockdep will print the 1st circle detected if it exists when
acquiring a new (next) lock.

This patch prints the shortest path from the next lock to be acquired to
the previous held lock if a circle is found.

The patch still uses the current method to check circle, and once the
circle is found, breadth-first search algorithem is used to compute the
shortest path from the next lock to the previous lock in the forward
lock dependency graph.

Printing the shortest path will shorten the dependency chain, and make
troubleshooting for possible circular locking easier.
