locking: clarify kernel-taint warning message
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Andi Kleen reported this message triggering on non-lockdep kernels:

   Disabling lockdep due to kernel taint

Clarify the message to say 'lock debugging' - debug_locks_off()
turns off all things lock debugging, not just lockdep.

[ Impact: change kernel warning message text ]
