[PATCH] lockdep: Clear whole lockdep_map on initialization

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Jul 14 2011 - 09:19:18 EST


lockdep_init_map() only initializes parts of lockdep_map and triggers
kmemcheck warning when it is copied as a whole. There isn't anything
to be gained by clearing selectively. memset() the whole structure
and remove loop for ->class_cache[] clearing.
