locking/lockdep: Disable cross-release features for now
Johan Hovold reported a big lockdep slowdown on his system, caused by lockdep:

> Boot time (from "Linux version" to login prompt) had in fact doubled

Because the final v4.14 release is close, disable the cross-release lockdep
features for now.
