From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Apr 01 2019 - 13:32:07 EST

4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit a9ddc71f5840c2711e530f2e055b278f79948b29 ]

On some platform the following lockdep error occurs when doing simple
manipulations:
