Yes, I will add more explanation for it at the next spin.

But, let me explain it a bit here to help you get it, since it's very
simple. This has nothing to do with 'might' thing I introduced
previously. For 'might' thing, I will start it after getting your response.

Here, I just removed acquire() because wait_for_completion()
already includes the acquire() by LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS.
That's all.
