[PATCH 1/3] lockdep: Assign lock keys on registration

[Matthew Wilcox]

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Lockdep was assigning lock keys when a lock was looked up.  This is
unnecessary; if the lock has never been registered then we know it is
not locked.  It also complicates the calling convention.  Switch to
assigning the lock key in register_lock_class().
