This gets me the following for the TASKS01, TINY02, TREE02, TREE05,
TREE06, and TREE08 configurations:

These have the following in their .config files:

CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y

However, none of your new Kconfig options are set, which needs to be
tested because this will be the common case. Several of them have
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, but others do not.

I have dequeued these for the moment. Please send an updated patch
series when you have this fixed.

Thanx, Paul
