get_domain_from_cpu() walks a list of domains to find the one that
contains the specified CPU. This needs to be protected against races
with CPU hotplug when the list is modified. It has recently gained a
lockdep annotation to check this.
The lockdep annotation causes false positives when called via IPI
as the lock is held, but by another process. Remove it.

I agree with this change. Could you please base it on x86/cache
branch of tip?
Thank you
