Peter, do you still have concerns with this?

Both MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES and MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS still fire on syzbot a
lot and harm ability to test whole kernel:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=63fc8d0501c39609dd2f268e4190ec9a72619563

I hate disabling lockdep entirely as it also finds lots of useful things.
