Pull lockdep fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A RT fix for lockdep.

  lockdep invokes prandom_u32() to create cookies. This worked until
  prandom_u32() was switched to the real random generator, which takes a
  spinlock for extraction, which does not work on RT when invoked from
  atomic contexts.

  lockdep has no requirement for real random numbers and it turns out
  sched_clock() is good enough to create the cookie. That works
  everywhere and is faster"
