We're hitting a problem,

	$ cat /proc/lockdep_stats

upon boot generates:

[   29.465702] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(debug_atomic_read(nr_unused_locks) != nr_unused)
[   29.465716] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 488 at kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:256 lockdep_stats_show+0xa33/0xac0

that bisected to this patch. Only just completed the bisection and
thought you would like a heads up.
