hm. Is this true? From my reading of kallsyms_lookup(), it will fall
into module_address_lookup() whcih is a no-op if !CONFIG_MODULES.

Maybe. It will only do useful things for statically-allocated locks
which are rare and which we are unlikely to screw up as easily as locks
which lie in dynamically allocated memory.
