OK, this means that debug_locks_off() always returns 0, as if debug_locks was 
already
cleared.

Thus print_deadlock_bug() will do nothing, it does

        if (!debug_locks_off_graph_unlock() || debug_locks_silent)
                return 0;

iow this means that even if lockdep finds a problem, the problem won't be 
reported.

I guess this is lockdep_init_map() which does printk("BUG:") itself, but due to 
your
change above it doesn't do WARN(1) and thus there is no call trace.
