We had a revert in the stable trees, but that revert was incorrect.

Take a look at commit 513e1073d52e55 upstream, it patches
__lock_set_class() (even though the subject line says
__lock_downgrade()). So this is not a backporting error as the revert
said it is, but is rather the intended location to be patched.

If this is actually wrong, then it should be addressed upstream first.
