Hi Juri,
You are correct - we could call lockdep_assert_cpus_held() but in my
opinion it would be in a separate patch and probably outside the scope
of this work. The sole purpose of this patch is to get the
locking/unlocking operations of mutex sched_domains_mutex out of
function partition_sched_domains_locked().
