I see I failed to answer this; no it will happen but now reads like:

	s/cpuhp_state/&_up/

Where we used to have a single lock protecting the hotplug stuff, we now
have 2, one for bringing stuff up and one for tearing it down.

This got rid of lock cycles that included cpu-up and cpu-down parts;
those are false positives because we cannot do cpu-up and cpu-down
concurrently.

But this report only includes a single (cpu-up) part and therefore is
not affected by that change other than a lock name changing.
