[PATCH 7/7] lockdep: Remove cmpxchg to update nr_chain_hlocks
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Apr 20 2011 - 21:43:11 EST
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>
For some reason nr_chain_hlocks is updated with cmpxchg, but this
is performed inside of the lockdep global "grab_lock()", which also
makes simple modification of this variable atomic.
Remove the cmpxchg logic for updating nr_chain_hlocks and simplify
the code.
