[PATCH 4/4] Export __lockdep_no_validate__

From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Tue Jan 15 2013 - 16:27:39 EST


Hack, but bcache needs a way around lockdep for locking during garbage
collection - we need to keep multiple btree nodes locked for coalescing
and rw_lock_nested() isn't really sufficient or appropriate here.
