• lock — the Lock to mark 🔒✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Lockdep will still record that this lock has been taken, and print held instances when dumping locks 👑

💀 so yeah, it's not deleting the lock from lockdep's memory — it's just turning off the ordering validation for it. Lockdep keeps receipts, it just doesn't judge. periodt.
