Tony Luck also reported this, it's harmless and gets fixed
by the patch below, which belongs to another series.
There are still a few dependencies between the other
BKL removal series, which I try to minimize and then
I'll ask you to add those to -next.

I have shown by code review that no driver takes
the BKL at init time any more, so whatever the
init code was locking against is no longer there
and it is now safe to remove the BKL there.
