When i saw your crash earlier today my first guess was memory 
corruption: lockdep is one of the first things to blow up on kernel data 
structure memory corruption. It tracks all locks and affects everything 
so gets hit first.

( Nevertheless we do have fresh changes in the tracing tree so some
  genuine lockdep/tracing crash was not implausible either. )
