Subject: linux-next: zillions of lockdep whinges in include/net/sock.h:1408

linux-next 20160420 is whining at an incredible rate - in 20 minutes of
uptime, I piled up some 41,000 hits from all over the place (cleaned up
to skip the CPU and PID so the list isn't quite so long):

Seems to be from this commit, which is apparently over-stringent or
isn't handling some case correctly:

commit fafc4e1ea1a4c1eb13a30c9426fb799f5efacbc3

    sock: tigthen lockdep checks for sock_owned_by_user

    sock_owned_by_user should not be used without socket lock held. It seems
    to be a common practice to check .owned before lock reclassification, so
    provide a little help to abstract this check away.
