locking/lockdep: Explicitly initialize wq_barrier::done::map
With the new lockdep crossrelease feature, which checks completions usage, a false positive is reported in the workqueue code: > Worker A : acquired of wfc.work -> wait for cpu_hotplug_lock to be released > Task B : acquired of cpu_hotplug_lock -> wait for lock#3 to be released > Task C : acquired of lock#3 -> wait for completion of barr->done > (Task C is in lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked()) > Worker D : wait for wfc.work to be released -> will complete barr->done Such a dead lock can not happen because Task C's barr->done and Worker D's barr->done can not be the same instance. The reason of this false positive is we initialize all wq_barrier::done at insert_wq_barrier() via init_completion(), which makes them belong to the same lock class, therefore, impossible circles are reported. To fix this, explicitly initialize the lockdep map for wq_barrier::done in insert_wq_barrier(), so that the lock class key of wq_barrier::done is a subkey of the corresponding work_struct, as a result we won't build a dependency between a wq_barrier with a unrelated work, and we can differ wq barriers based on the related works, so the false positive above is avoided. Also define the empty lockdep_init_map_crosslock() for !CROSSRELEASE to make the code simple and away from unnecessary #ifdefs.
