Lock-validator code uses recursive functions to verify lock 
dependencies. And one should have some limit for recursive 
function,otherwise stack may get overflowed. So at any case 20 is the 
max depth for this recursive functions. But this value doesn't scale up 
for 16-way or 32-way SMP systems. Hence this bug.
