That has nothing to do with your lockdep spew. Also spinlocks don't
sleep by definition (if we ignore the RT spinlock->mutex magic).

Duplicating tons of code for that is silly. I seriously doubt someone
benchmarked this and saw a meaningful improvement from skipping the
save/restore.

We are *releasing* the forcewake here, not acquiring it.
