[PATCH] unwinder: always use unlocked module list access in unwinder fallback
We're already well protected against module unloads because module unload uses stop_machine(). The only exception is NMIs, but other users already risk lockless accesses here. This avoids some hackery in lockdep and also a potential deadlock This matches what i386 does. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
