Hello!

This patch series suppresses early-boot RCU-lockdep warnings and fixes
a couple of other RCU lockdep issues:

1.	Use a wrapper function to query lockdep about tasklist_lock
	instead of (re-)exporting tasklist_lock to modules.

2.	Suppress early-boot RCU-lockdep warnings.

3.	Revert an earlier lockdep-RCU patch that manually checked for
	early boot.

4.	Add a couple of variables to the lockdep_rcu_dereference()
	output.

Testing identified a couple of lockdep splats that I thought were due
to early boot issues, but which turned out to be not -quite- that early.
These will be dealt with by a pair of later patches.

							Thanx, Paul
