Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The `init_completion_map()` macro ignores the provided lockdep map argument `m` and sets `dmap` to `NULL`. This forces all generic wrappers like `flush_work()` to share a single, monolithic dependency class generated at the `wait_for_completion` macro call site.

dept: apply sdt_might_sleep_{start,end}() to wait_for_completion()/complete()
This commit enables the DEPT (Dependency Tracker) to track dependencies
introduced by wait_for_completion() and complete() calls. It adds a
dept_map to the completion structure and applies the appropriate sleep
start and end annotations.

[Severity: High]
Does this macro cause independent dependency graphs to merge? By ignoring the
lockdep map argument m and calling init_completion(x) instead, it seems
generic wrappers like flush_work() will be forced to share a single
monolithic dependency class generated at the wait site.
Could this lead DEPT to report false-positive deadlocks during normal
operations? For example, if Work A flushes Work B, and Work B flushes
Work C, both use the same flush_work() completion class. DEPT might see
Work B both waiting on and satisfying this global class, erroneously
detecting a self-cycle.
