Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lockdep: allow instrumenting lockdep.c with KMSAN

Lockdep and KMSAN used to play badly together, causing deadlocks when
KMSAN instrumentation of lockdep.c called lockdep functions recursively.

Looks like this is no more the case, and a kernel can run (yet slower)
with both KMSAN and lockdep enabled.
This patch should fix false positives on wq_head->lock->dep_map, which
KMSAN used to consider uninitialized because of lockdep.c not being
instrumented.
