Do you think it's useful to temporarily put a lock counter into struct
task (TEMPORARILY, Linus, temporarily!) and check that as well? Maybe that

Or we should extend that whole crap a bit so we could see exactly what
caused the preemption count to rise. I don't know if we can do that, but
we can try doing that.
