Subject[PATCH 11/11] checkpatch: Check for spin_is_locked
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

spin_is_locked is usually misued. In checkpatch.pl

- warn when it is used at all
- error out when it is asserted on free, because that's usually broken
(e.g. doesn't work on on uni processor builds). Recommend
lockdep_assert_held() instead.
