Ingo,

I am not quite sure why lockdep complains. From the input POV
everything is pretty simple - we use polldev_mutex to start ipolldevd
workqueue on demand, when first user appears, and also to destroy
workqueue after last iser is gone.

Is it reporoducible for you? Is it only with your tree or mainline as
well?
