I fixed it up for RT, then robot found a way to complain about it. Then
I slapped myself for not submitting this patch in the first place.

I don' think `ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK' is an option. Especially
since the i915 driver here is the only user in tree doing this kind of
thing.
Then we have lockdep_set_class_and_name() (which I promote here). This
looks like the official way of doing lockdep related things and it has
even more than ten users in tree.
