Subject: [PATCH RFC 07/11] rust: sync: Implement dynamic lockdep class creation

Using macros to create lock classes all over the place is unergonomic,
and makes it impossible to add new features that require lock classes to
code such as Arc<> without changing all callers.

Rust has the ability to track the caller's identity by file/line/column
number, and we can use that to dynamically generate lock classes
instead.

Is there any problem if we have many `DynLockClassKey`s leaked or not?

I don't understand why PATCH 06 is needed. If we keep the current
`LockClassKey` definition this could just be returning `'static
LockClassKey`, which is a simple `&self.key`.

If the only purpose of introducing `StaticLockClassKey` and change
`LockClassKey` is to make this fallback path work, then I don't think
that change is worth it. I don't really see an issue with forging a
`'static LockClassKey' from a `'static Location`, especially since you
can't really do any memory access with `LockClassKey`.
