Subject: bdi: lockdep warning in bdi_queue_work

Hi all,

While fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools guest running the latest -next
kernel I've stumbled on the following:

[  323.192041] INFO: trying to register non-static key.
[  323.193083] the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
[  323.193949] turning off the locking correctness validator.
