Subject: fix deadlock in loop.c
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc2~115

fix deadlock in loop.c

... doh

Jeremy Fitzhardinge noted that the recent loop.c cleanups worked, but
cause lockdep to complain.

Ouch.  OK, the deadlock is real and yes, I'm an idiot.  Speaking of which,
we probably want to s/lock/pin/ in drivers/base/map.c to avoid such
brainos again.  And yes, this stuff needs clear documentation.  Will try
to put one together once I get some sleep...
