In mutex destroy code currently we pass to debug_check_no_locks_freed()

    [mem_from, mem_end)

address region. But debug_check_no_locks_freed() accepts

    mem_from, mem_*len*

i.e. second parameter is region length, not end address. And it was
always so, starting from 2006 (fbb9ce95 "lockdep: core").

Fix it, or else on a mutex destroy we wrongly check
much-wider-than-mutex region and can find not-yet-released other locks
there and wrongly report BUGs on them.

Thanks, where is this patch is/will-be applied?

I mean I could not find it neither in

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sashal/linux.git

nor anywhere in linux-next nor in Linus's tree.

Thanks,
Kirill

I'll send it to Ingo once v3.19-rc1 is out.
