[PATCH] lockdep debugging: give stacktrace for init_error

[Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>]

When I started adding support for lockdep to 64-bit powerpc, I got a
lockdep_init_error and with this patch was able to pinpoint why and
where to put lockdep_init(). Let's support this generally for others
adding lockdep support to their architecture.
