When I tested commit 6539306, I did not notice that loading an out-of-tree
module turns off lockdep testing in kernel 3.2. For that reason, I missed
the kernel WARNING shown below:
The solution fixes the warning by partially reverting commit 6539306.

John,
The patch that is being partially reverted has not yet been pushed to
mainline, thus 3.3 is appropriate.
