Subject: [PATCH] locking/lockdep: Fix meaningless usages output of lock classes

From: Xiongwei Song <[email protected]>

When enabling CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, then CONFIG_LOCKDEP is forcedly enabled.
We can get output from /proc/lockdep, which currently includes usages of
classes. But the usages of classes are meaningless, see the output
below:

/ # cat /proc/lockdep
all lock classes:
ffffffff9af63350 ....: cgroup_mutex

ffffffff9af54eb8 ....: (console_sem).lock

ffffffff9af54e60 ....: console_lock

ffffffff9ae74c38 ....: console_owner_lock

ffffffff9ae74c80 ....: console_owner

ffffffff9ae66e60 ....: cpu_hotplug_lock

Only one usage context for each lock, this is because each usage is only
changed in mark_lock() that is in CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING defined section,
however in the test situation, it's not.

The fix is to move the usages reading and seq_print from
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING undefined setcion to it defined section.
