lockdep: Reduce stack_trace usage
When calling check_prevs_add(), if all validations passed
add_lock_to_list() will add new lock to dependency tree and
alloc stack_trace for each list_entry.
But at this time, we are always on the same stack, so stack_trace
for each list_entry has the same value. This is redundant and eats
up lots of memory which could lead to warning on low
MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES.
Use one copy of stack_trace instead.
V2: As suggested by Peter Zijlstra, move save_trace() from
check_prevs_add() to check_prev_add().
Add tracking for trylock dependence which is also redundant.
