[PATCH] [3/3] Convert lockdep to use arch_early_alloc() if available for its large arrays

The static arrays in lockdep can be quite big. Upto several megabytes. We ran into problems with 64bit kernels becoming so big that the kernel image overlapped into the 16MB area reserved for a kdump kernel. This patch converts lockdep to use arch_early_alloc() if available to avoid this
