locking/lockdep: Iterate lock_classes directly when reading lockdep files

When dumping lock_classes information via /proc/lockdep, we can't take
the lockdep lock as the lock hold time is indeterminate. Iterating
over all_lock_classes without holding lock can be dangerous as there
is a slight chance that it may branch off to other lists leading to
infinite loop or even access invalid memory if changes are made to
all_lock_classes list in parallel.

To avoid this problem, iteration of lock classes is now done directly
on the lock_classes array itself. The lock_classes_in_use bitmap is
checked to see if the lock class is being used. To avoid iterating
the full array all the times, a new max_lock_class_idx value is added
to track the maximum lock_class index that is currently being used.

We can theoretically take the lockdep lock for iterating all_lock_classes
when other lockdep files (lockdep_stats and lock_stat) are accessed as
the lock hold time will be shorter for them. For consistency, they are
also modified to iterate the lock_classes array directly.
