Looks like this indeed is something that lockdep *should* report (*),
although I would be suprised that stack unwinder would be so confused by
this -- there is no way for synchronize_sched_expedited() to be inlined
all the way to cpuidle_pause().

(*) there are multiple places where cpu_hotplug.lock -> cpuidle_lock lock
dependency is assumed. The patch that Dave pointed out adds
cpuidle_lock -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency.

Still not clear whether this is what's happening here ... anyway, adding
Paul to CC.
