I see. Yeah, we do "interesting" dances around lockdep fs-freezing
annotations for AIO as well where the freeze protection is inherited from
submission to completion context (we effectively generate false release
event for lockdep when exiting submit context and false acquire event in
the completion context). It can be done but it's ugly and error prone.

OK, will do!
