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.
