Subject: hrtimers: simplify lockdep stuff
From: Oleg Nesterov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In order to avoid the false positive from lockdep, each per-cpu base->lock has
the separate lock class and migrate_hrtimers() uses double_spin_lock().
This is overcomplicated: except for migrate_hrtimers() we never take 2 locks
at once, and migrate_hrtimers() can use spin_lock_nested().
