A reference to another patch would be by a subject or a specific commit
id (not applicable in this case) or you can write it without any
reference if the change is standalone. The changelog should describe the
reason for the change, user visible effects, what can go wrong etc.

I'm not sure this is necessary, as this is not locking where the
initialization would have to be inside. The lockdep assertion is just a
warning, so it does not matter where the intialization is done, I'd
prefer to keep it as is.
