list_bl would crash with BUG() if we used it without locking. dm-snapshot uses its own locking on realtime kernels (it can't use list_bl because list_bl uses raw spinlock and dm-snapshot takes other non-raw spinlocks while holding bl_lock). To avoid this BUG we deactivate the list debug checks for list_bl on realtime kernels. This patch is intended only for the realtime kernel patchset, not for the upstream kernel.
