Subject: [PATCH v2] CAPI: Silence lockdep warning on get_capi_appl_by_nr usage

From: Jan Kiszka <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2010 17:18:15 +0200

As long as we hold capi_controller_lock, we can safely access
capi_applications without RCU protection as no one can modify the
application list underneath us. Introduce an RCU-free
__get_capi_appl_by_nr for this purpose. This silences lockdep warnings
on suspicious rcu_dereference usage.

v2:
 - use lockdep_assert_held in favor of WARN_ON_ONCE(!mutex_is_locked)
   as suggested by Peter
