Subject[PATCH] let WARN_ON() output the condition
[PATCH] let WARN_ON() output the condition

It is possible, in some cases, that the output of WARN_ON() is ambiguous
and can't be properly used to identify the exact condition which caused
the warning to trigger. This happens whenever there is a macro that
contains multiple WARN_ONs inside. Notable example is spin_lock_mutex().
If any of the two WARN_ONs trigger, we are not able to say which one was
the cause (as we get only line number, which however belongs to the place
where the macro was expanded).

This patch lets WARN_ON() to output also the condition and fixes the
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON() macro to pass the condition properly to WARN_ON. The
possible drawback could be when someone passes a condition which has
sideeffects. Then it would be evaluated twice, instead of current one
evaluation. On the other hand, when anyone passes expression with
sideeffects to WARN_ON(), he is asking for problems anyway.

Patch against 2.6.19-rc6-mm2.
