Three small fixes/updates for the locking core code: 

- Plug a task struct reference leak in the percpu rswem implementation.
 
  - Document the refcount interaction with PID_MAX_LIMIT
 
  - Improve the 'invalid wait context' data dump in lockdep so it contains
    all information which is required to decode the problem

* Linux limits the maximum number of tasks to PID_MAX_LIMIT, which is currently
* 0x400000 (and can't easily be raised in the future beyond FUTEX_TID_MASK).
* With the current PID limit, if no batched refcounting operations are used and
* the attacker can't repeatedly trigger kernel oopses in the middle of refcount
* operations, this makes it impossible for a saturated refcount to leave the
* saturation range, even if it is possible for multiple uses of the same
* refcount to nest in the context of a single task:
*
* (UINT_MAX+1-REFCOUNT_SATURATED) / PID_MAX_LIMIT =
* 0x40000000 / 0x400000 = 0x100 = 256
*
* If hundreds of references are added/removed with a single refcounting
* operation, it may potentially be possible to leave the saturation range; but
* given the precise timing details involved with the round-robin scheduling of
* each thread manipulating the refcount and the need to hit the race multiple
* times in succession, there doesn't appear to be a practical avenue of attack
