Well that was rather a howler.

How did the lock validator help in identifying this?

yeah :-| This bug was introduced relatively late, as part of another bugfix.

i've got an extension for it that moans if we exit a syscall with held locks. (i dont want to risk the current queue with it, it's below - just for review)

(but it's not a strict lockdep thing - it should probably be done as part of DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, not LOCKDEP)

anyway, this is for later - it just shows that we can certainly do a number of nice things with lockdep's lock-stack. [as DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC itself already demonstrates]
