Hi guys,

because of the Vulkan graphics API we have a specialized synchronization object 
to handle both inter process as well as process to hardware synchronization.

The problem is now that when drivers call this interface with some lock help it 
is trivial to create a deadlock when those locks are also needed in a page 
fault for example.

The idea of this patch is now to let lockdep complain when any locks are called 
when the interface is used.

Please review and/or comment.

Thanks,
Christian.
