That's not what it says, it is.. The warning is about trying to release
a lock that's not held. And its right, RCU was doing that. It would
acquire a lock without lockdep knowing about it and then telling lockdep
about freeing it.

This is fixed by commit:

  02a7c234e540 ("rcu: Suppress lockdep false-positive ->boost_mtx complaints")

The problem is that RCU boosting was mixing futex and !futex rt_mutex
ops.
