Only the last sbitmap_word can have different depth, and all the others must have same depth of 1U << sb->shift, so not necessary to store it in sbitmap_word, and it can be retrieved easily and efficiently by adding one internal helper of __map_depth(sb, index). Remove 'depth' field from sbitmap_word, then the annotation of ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp for 'word' isn't needed any more. Not see performance effect when running high parallel IOPS test on null_blk. This way saves us one cacheline(usually 64 words) per each sbitmap_word.

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.
