Hi,

When launching "jackd -d alsa", lockdep issues the following warning:
[39701.405086] =============================================
[39701.405093] [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]

[39701.405112] jackd/17366 is trying to acquire lock:

[39701.405131] but task is already holding lock:

[39701.405142] other info that might help us debug this:

The attached lockdep annotation silences the warning.
