How about: Set a variable nr_pending = number of CPUs, run a task on
each CPU which disables interrupts, atomically decrements nr_pending
and then spins waiting for it to become negative (raw, not counted in
lockdep), and whichever one takes it to zero, that task knows there
are no locks held, and can reset the lockdep state. Then sets it to
-1 to wake everyone.
