[PATCH v3 8/9] slab: remove a useless lockdep annotation

From: Joonsoo Kim
Date: Tue Jul 01 2014 - 04:26:37 EST


Now, there is no code to hold two lock simultaneously, since
we don't call slab_destroy() with holding any lock. So, lockdep
annotation is useless now. Remove it.

v2: don't remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC in this patch. It will be removed
in the following patch.
