Yes this code.

Well i am not able to reproduce myself but it happens as part of
mm_drop_all_locks() as to which lock does trigger i am unsure as
all the i_mmap_rwsem are taken one after the other and same for
anon_vma rwsem so they should already coalesce properly. My guess
is that code calling all lock also have a mutex and once all vma
lock are drop the mutex coalesce with mm_all_locks_mutex.

It would work too, probably more compute intensive than my solution
but this is lockdep code so i guess it is fine. Also dunno if we loose
any valuable information by not keeping the stack ordered so one
can check order in whick lock are taken.
