I personally vote to keep it as is unless people see this warning on daily basis. After all, the lockdep splat is correct. The serial console might not work correctly in panic() when there is the race.
Sorry, but no, the warning is not correct at all. The code path deliberately does NOT take the lock and calls a function which is currently annotated that the lock is _always_ taken. Therefore, the warning is clearly a false positive and I see no reason in keeping it.
Hopefully this is fixed as John described earlier. Until then, I see no point bothering people with false alarms.
