locking/qspinlock_stat: Count instances of nested lock slowpaths
Queued spinlock supports up to 4 levels of lock slowpath nesting -
user context, soft IRQ, hard IRQ and NMI. However, we are not sure how
often the nesting happens.
So add 3 more per-CPU stat counters to track the number of instances where
nesting index goes to 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
On a dual-socket 64-core 128-thread Zen server, the following were the
new stat counter values under different circumstances:
State slowpath index1 index2 index3
----- -------- ------ ------ -------
After bootup 1,012,150 82 0 0
After parallel build + perf-top 125,195,009 82 0 0
So the chance of having more than 2 levels of nesting is extremely low.
