John Stultz b63343207d locktorture: Add nested_[un]lock() hooks and nlocks parameter
In order to extend locktorture to support lock nesting, add
nested_lock() and nested_unlock() hooks to the torture ops.

These take a 32bit lockset mask which is generated at random,
so some number of locks will be taken before the main lock is
taken and released afterwards.

Additionally, add nested_locks module parameter to allow
specifying the number of nested locks to be used.

This has been helpful to uncover issues in the proxy-exec
series development.

This was inspired by locktorture extensions originally implemented
by Connor O'Brien, for stress testing the proxy-execution series:
