Peter Zijlstra 35a9393c95 lockdep: Fix the module unload key range freeing logic
Module unload calls lockdep_free_key_range(), which removes entries
from the data structures. Most of the lockdep code OTOH assumes the
data structures are append only; in specific see the comments in
add_lock_to_list() and look_up_lock_class().

Clearly this has only worked by accident; make it work proper. The
actual scenario to make it go boom would involve the memory freed by
the module unlock being re-allocated and re-used for a lock inside of
a rcu-sched grace period. This is a very unlikely scenario, still
better plug the hole.

Use RCU list iteration in all places and ammend the comments.

Change lockdep_free_key_range() to issue a sync_sched() between
removal from the lists and returning -- which results in the memory
being freed. Further ensure the callers are placed correctly and
comment the requirements.
