Thanks, I'll work on that later tonight...

Note that it probably is almost entirely impossible to trigger the
problem in practice, so it's not like this is a particularly important
stable back-port.

I just happened to look at it and go "hmm, it's not _marked_ for stable".

I've addressed a missing a8654596f03 ("locking/rwsem: Enable lock event
counting") and queued up a backport for 5.1-4.9.
