Define a macro AVG_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_DEPTH to document the magic number '5'
used in the calculation of MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS. The number
represents the estimated average depth (number of locks held) of a lock
chain. The calculation of MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS was first added in
commit 443cd507ce ("lockdep: add lock_class information to lock_chain
and output it").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
