So that's commit f611e8cf98ec ("lockdep: Take read/write status in
consideration when generate chainkey") that did that.

So validate_chain() requires the new chain_key, but can change ->read
which then invalidates the chain_key we just calculated.

This happens when check_deadlock() returns 2, which only happens when:

  - next->read == 2 && ... ; however @hext is our @hlock, so that's
    pointless

  - when there's a nest_lock involved ; ww_mutex uses that !!!

I suppose something like the below _might_ just do it, but I haven't
compiled it, and like said, my brain is fried.

Boqun, could you have a look, you're a few timezones ahead of us so your
morning is earlier ;-)
