Subject: iwlwifi: pcie: mark command queue lock with separate lockdep class

From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]>

commit faead41cc7213ccef5a58c1bf518ac24816fe8a6 upstream.

Emmanuel reports that when CMD_WANT_ASYNC_CALLBACK is used by mvm, the callback will be called with the command queue lock held, and mvm will try to stop all (other) TX queues, which acquires their locks - this caused a false lockdep recursive locking report.

Suppress this report by marking the command queue lock with a new, separate, lock class so lockdep can tell the difference between the two types of queues.
