The array size is not fixed. so it maybe a little big in some case.

struct ib_port {
	struct kobject kobj;
	struct ib_device *ibdev;
	struct gid_attr_group *gid_attr_group;
	struct hw_stats_port_data *hw_stats_data;

	struct attribute_group groups[3];
	const struct attribute_group *groups_list[5];
	u32 port_num;
	struct port_table_attribute attrs_list[];
};

=>
struct port_table_attribute {
	struct ib_port_attribute attr;

=>
struct ib_port_attribute {
	struct attribute attr;

=>
struct attribute {
	const char		*name;
	umode_t			mode;
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
	bool			ignore_lockdep:1;
	struct lock_class_key	*key;
	struct lock_class_key	skey;
#endif
};

When CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, we need CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y too.

This problem happen when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y(CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y),
but not happen when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=n(CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=n).
