actually ... it works fine in the upstream kernel due to this:

  * If lockdep is enabled then we use the non-preemption spin-ops
  * even on CONFIG_PREEMPT, because lockdep assumes that interrupts are
  * not re-enabled during lock-acquire (which the preempt-spin-ops do):
  */
 #if !defined(CONFIG_PREEMPT) || !defined(CONFIG_SMP) || \
         defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC)

so i'm wondering, how did you you manage to get into the 
BUILD_LOCK_OPS() branch?
