Although I don't really see how this can be particularly fixed, since
any workload that allocates a struct with a lock, initializes, and then
eventually frees it a whole bunch of times will run out of lock_lists
won't it?

(I still think the text should be changed from BUG though since we're
 not actually calling BUG()...)
