The lockdep fixes are starting to cause us to go in and start adding

In earlier lockdep versions we had many such hacks, but in the current
upstream kernel we've only got one such case so far: one netlink
function, where the alternative was to rewrite softmac. I fixed all the
earlier hacks to be proper annotations - and the plan is to keep things
clean in the future too :-)
