[PATCH] lockdep: core, fix rq-lock handling on __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW
On platforms that have __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW set and want to implement lock validator support there's a bug in rq->lock handling: in this case we dont 'carry over' the runqueue lock into another task - but still we did a spinlock_release() of it. Fix this by making the spinlock_release() in context_switch() dependent on !__ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW. (Reported by Ralf Baechle on MIPS, which has __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW. This fixes a lockdep-internal BUG message on such platforms.)
