This is the bogus lockdep output which is fixed by

commit ea319518ba3de282c13ae1cf4bf2215c5e03e67e
Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>

locking, percpu counters: introduce separate lock classes

Impact: fix lockdep false positives

Classify percpu_counter instances similar to regular lock objects --
that is, per instantiation site.

The networking code has increased its use of percpu_counters, which
leads to false positives if they are treated as a single class.
