Subject[PATCH] kthread_worker: Initialize dynamically allocated spinlock properly for lockdep
From
Date
init_kthread_worker(), via KTHREAD_WORKER_INIT(), used an
initializer for static spin_lock objects, SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED, on
a dynamically allocated kthread_worker object's internal spinlock_t.
This causes lockdep to gripe:

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.

To keep lockdep happy, use spin_lock_init() for dynamically
allocated kthread_worker objects' internal spinlock_t.
