Subject[PATCH] lockdep: make lock held while freezing check optional
Date
This check is turning up a lot of code paths which need to be
fixed so while those paths are fixed, let's make this check
optional so that folks can still use lockdep.

+ This feature will check whether any lock is incorrectly held

+ In the case of cgroup_freezer, this can cause a deadlock.
