   # HEAD: 92ccc262e485781ff4c0fb3b7c77a619282df49a tools/lib/lockdep: Add missing declaration of 'pr_cont()'

Misc fixes:

 - Fix a S390 boot hang that was caused by the lock-break logic. Remove lock-break
   to begin with, as review suggested it was unreasonably fragile and our
   confidence in its continued good health is lower than our confidence in its
   removal.

 - Remove the lockdep cross-release checking code for now, because of unresolved
   false positive warnings. This should make lockdep work well everywhere again.

 - Get rid of the final (and single) ACCESS_ONCE() straggler and remove the API 
   from v4.15.

 - Fix a liblockdep build warning.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
