From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 645f224e7ba2f4200bf163153d384ceb0de5462e upstream. Since the kprobe handlers have protection that prohibits other handlers from executing in other contexts (like if an NMI comes in while processing a kprobe, and executes the same kprobe, it will get fail with a "busy" return). Lockdep is unaware of this protection. Use lockdep's nesting api to differentiate between locks taken in INT3 context and other context to suppress the false warnings.
