I'm not sure anything is wrong with the post-processing. My confusion
(and Jiri) was that the stack trace lists
tty_get_pgrp()->_raw_spin_lock_irqsave() but that function acquires
tty->ctrl_lock, not as the report claims buf->lock.

PeterH says that lockdep omits functions tagged with __lockfunc, but my
reading disagrees with that.

kernel/locking/lockdep.c:save_trace()
  save_stack_trace()
    dump_trace(.ops = &save_stack_ops)

which has: .address = save_stack_address
  __save_stack_address(.nosched = false)

So lockdep should very much include lock functions.


But this confusion is part of the original report, not because of the
post-processing.
