I did my best to find a counterpoint to this statement. The only thing
I found was that lockdep_init_task(&init_task) in fork_init() is now
called after the spin_lock() usage in set_memory_4k(). But AFAICT, that
whole lockdep_init_task() call is unneeded because the fields it sets
are already statically initialized. I mention only because I'm not 100%
sure the lockdep_init_task() call is not serving some purpose I'm
missing.
