At the moment, it's rather premature to enable
CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS by default,
because we face a lot of false positives for now since all locks and
waiters are not classified properly yet.

Until most of them get annotated properly, it'd be better to be optional.
