Subject: [patch] lockdep: fix static keys in module-allocated percpu areas
From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

lockdep got confused by certain locks in modules:

 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff8026f40d>] dump_trace+0xaa/0x3f2

  [...]

Steven Rostedt found the bug: static_obj() check did not take
PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM into account, so in-module DEFINE_PER_CPU-area locks 
were triggering this message.
