Weird, I would be expecting complaints about releasing an unheld lock.

nmi_enter(),nmi_exit() have lockdep_off(),lockdep_on() resp. Which means
that the down_trylock() will not be recorded. The up, which is done from
IRQ context, will not be so supressed and should hit
print_unlock_imbalance_bug().

Argh, yes indeed. Sorry.
