Originally my reasoning was that to actually hide a locking issue from
lockdep, this would have to happen every time we get down into the
function which is unlikely. But thinking about it again, this code path
is not so frequent and the fuzzers tend to do strange things so that it
could really happen.

Sasha/Jiri, could you test the patch with your testcases? I received it
corrupted (strange leading whitespaces) so I better add cleaned up
version below.

In this case actually nothing too fancy, just seems that filters on tap devices
might not be really used by anyone (issue is already couple of years old).

Tested this yesterday night on my machine with PROVE_RCU + PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY
enabled, and it can easily be triggered with a simple ioctl(tun_fd,
TUN{ATTACH,DETACH}FILTER, ...) on a tap device, and the patch now silences
it. Sorry for the white space damage (should have just attached it), I'd send
it later today.

Thanks,
Daniel
