[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH RESEND] kernel: time: posix-timers: Pass lockdep expression to RCU lists

[Amol Grover]

head is traversed using hlist_for_each_entry_rcu outside an
RCU read-side critical section but under the protection
of hash_lock.

Hence, add corresponding lockdep expression to silence false-positive
lockdep warnings, and harden RCU lists.

Add macro for the corresponding lockdep expression.
