[PATCH] lockdep, bug: Exclude TAINT_OOT_MODULE from disabling lock debugging
We do want to allow lock debugging for GPL-compatible modules that are
not (yet) built in-tree. This was disabled as a side-effect of commit
2449b8ba0745327c5fa49a8d9acffe03b2eded69 ('module,bug: Add
TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built in-tree'). Lock debug
warnings now include taint flags, so kernel developers should still
be able to deflect warnings caused by out-of-tree modules.
The TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE flag for non-GPL-compatible modules will
still disable lock debugging.
