Subject: lockdep: fix mismatched lockdep_depth/curr_chain_hash
From: Gregory Haskins <[email protected]>

It is possible for the current->curr_chain_key to become inconsistent with the
current index if the chain fails to validate.  The end result is that future
lock_acquire() operations may inadvertently fail to find a hit in the cache
resulting in a new node being added to the graph for every acquire.

[ peterz: this might explain some of the lockdep is so _slow_ complaints. ]
[ mingo: this does not impact the correctness of validation, but may slow
  down future operations significantly, if the chain gets very long. ]
