If a lock chain contains a class that is zapped, the whole lock chain is likely to be invalid. If the zapped class is at the end of the chain, the partial chain without the zapped class should have been stored already as the current code will store all its predecessor chains. If the zapped class is somewhere in the middle, there is no guarantee that the partial chain will actually happen. It may just clutter up the hash and make searching slower. I would rather prefer storing the chain only when it actually happens. So just dump the corresponding chain_hlocks entries for now. A latter patch will try to reuse the freed chain_hlocks entries. This patch also changes the type of nr_chain_hlocks to unsigned integer to be consistent with the other counters.

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 Restructured Text 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.
