lock_release_holdtime() will access percpu variable, so every lock
release may trigger the hang if CONFIG_LOCK_STAT is enabled,
and there are many lock acquire/release before setup_arch.
No detailed backtrace since only early_printk can work at that time.

OK, I will add the document: lockdep will use percpu variable
before cpu_init() called inside setup_arch().
