This doesn't look related to my patch, it also happen in -rc1 right?

This calls:

#define sysfs_dirent_init_lockdep(sd)				\
do {								\
	struct attribute *attr = sd->s_attr.attr;		\
	struct lock_class_key *key = attr->key;			\
	if (!key)						\
		key = &attr->skey;				\
								\
	lockdep_init_map(&sd->dep_map, "s_active", key, 0);	\
} while(0)


Looks like the struct lock_class_key is dynamically allocated
and lockdep doesn't like that.
