correct. That is why I suggested to use lockdep_assert_held() instead of
this IRQ-check + the spin_lock_assert().
The only downside is that this code (as of now) works with lockdep
disabled. On the other hand, lockdep_assert_held() gives you a splat
instead of a BUG() statement like spin_lock_assert() does so I clearly
promote lockdep here :)
