lockdep: Document MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS calculation
Define a macro AVG_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_DEPTH to document the magic number '5' used in the calculation of MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS. The number represents the estimated average depth (number of locks held) of a lock chain. The calculation of MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS was first added in commit 443cd50 ("lockdep: add lock_class information to lock_chain and output it").
