#1710673 — [PATCH 0/2] Fix a bug in crossrelease

Thanks to Boqun, we found out a bug with regard to the rollback and
overwrite-detection. I like Boqun's or Peterz's suggestions more, but
please consider this fix-up first if we need time to decide which one
to choose.

#1710675 — [PATCH 1/2] lockdep: Add a comment about crossrelease_hist_end() in lockdep_sys_exit()

In lockdep_sys_exit(), crossrelease_hist_end() is called unconditionally
even when getting here without having started e.g. just after forked.
But it's no problem since it anyway would rollback to an invalid element.
A comment would be helpful to understand this situation.

locking/lockdep: Add a comment about crossrelease_hist_end() in lockdep_sys_exit()

In lockdep_sys_exit(), crossrelease_hist_end() is called unconditionally
even when getting here without having started e.g. just after forking.

But it's no problem since it would roll back to an invalid entry anyway.
Add a comment to explain this.

#1710677 — [PATCH 2/2] lockdep: Fix the rollback and overwrite detection in crossrelease

As Boqun pointed out, current->hist_id should be aligned with the latest
valid xhlock->hist_id so that hist_id_save[] storing current->hist_id
can be comparable with xhlock->hist_id. Fix it.

Additionally, the condition for overwrite-detection should be the
opposite. Fix it with modifying comment.
