Excellent; I've spruiced up the code with a few comments and helpers
(as suggested by Vlastimil on IRC) and will queue the below commit.

Subject: debugobjects,locking: Annotate __debug_object_init() wait type violation
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There is an explicit wait-type violation in __debug_object_init() for
PREEMPT_RT=n kernels which allows them to more easily fill the object
pool and reduce the chance of allocation failures.

Lockdep's wait-type checks are designed to check the PREEMPT_RT
locking rules even for PREEMPT_RT=n kernels and object to this, so
create a lockdep annotation to allow this to stand.

Specifically, create a 'lock' type that overrides the inner wait-type
while it is held -- allowing one to temporarily raise it, such that
the violation is hidden.
