[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.)
