btw., updated patch is below - the right order is to first do 
debug_locks_off(), then debug_locks_silent.

[ btw., could you fix your mailer so that a reply to your mails doesnt 
  put all participants into the 'To:' line? You can do it via adding 
  "unset followup_to" to your $HOME/.muttrc file. ]

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Matthew Wilcox noticed that the debug_locks_silent use should be
inverted in DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(). This bug was causing spurious
stacktraces and incorrect failures in the locking self-test on the
parisc kernel.
