would it make sense to do:

	lockdep_sys_exit();
	addr_limit_user_check();

here instead of before core_exit_to_usermode_work(); that would also
allow getting rid of that second addr_limit_user_check() invocation.

And movind that lockdep check later would catch any of the
EXIT_TO_USERMODE_WORK users leaking a lock.
