fix deadlock in loop.c
... doh Jeremy Fitzhardinge noted that the recent loop.c cleanups worked, but cause lockdep to complain. Ouch. OK, the deadlock is real and yes, I'm an idiot. Speaking of which, we probably want to s/lock/pin/ in drivers/base/map.c to avoid such brainos again. And yes, this stuff needs clear documentation. Will try to put one together once I get some sleep...
