I didn't hit an actual lockup, but I did hit a warning during boot. The
warning was added by "lockdep: check that no locks held at freeze time"
patch (2f2ff7b8979c50491b3cbce622d7bea4d44a8682 in linux-next.git)

Thanks.

When fixing a bug, we always like to see a full description of that bug
so we can better work out which kernel versions need the fix.

Did you actually hit a lockup because of this?  Or was it just from
code inspection?  Or ...  ?
