[PATCH] lockdep: register_lock_class() fix
The hash_lock must only ever be taken with irqs disabled. This happens in
all the important places, except one codepath: register_lock_class(). The
race should trigger rarely because register_lock_class() is quite rare and
single-threaded (happens during init most of the time).
The fix is to disable irqs.
( bug found live in -rt: there preemption is alot more agressive and
preempting with the hash-lock held caused a lockup.)
