CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING

I have no idea *where* it is either (in menuconfig or so), so if you're
in menuconfig, just hit / and enter PROVE_LOCKING. It'll come up with a
list of entries (probably only one) labeled (1), (2), ... Hit the number
key with the right number and menuconfig will take you there.

If you can't enable it, then you need DEBUG_KERNEL first.

But if you can e.g. switch to a VT (ctrl-alt-fn) and get a stackdump
shown on the screen while it hangs while shutting down (need to wait 2-3
minutes I guess), that's probably enough.
