Think I'll turn lockdep off, and make context switches take a good long
while after finish_lock_switch(), but meanwhile, this made it happy.

Sasha reports that lockdep claims 156654f491dd8d52687a5fbe1637f472a52ce75b made
numa_group.lock interrupt unsafe. While I don't see how that could be given the
commit in question moved task_numa_free() from one irq enabled region to another,
the below does make both gripes and lockup upon gripe with numa=fake=4 go away.
