Subject: RFC [PATCH 0/1] Fix lockdep false positive

I'm not sure if I'm breaking any detection with this patch since I
haven't looked at that lockdep code before. I do know that the unlock
order for locks with a nest lock should not matter, though.
Specifically, you should be able to unlock the nest lock followed by
all the locks nested underneath it.
