lockdep_assert_held() is better suited to checking locking requirements,
since it only checks if the current thread holds the lock regardless of
whether someone else does. This is also a step towards possibly removing
spin_is_locked().

So fyi I'm not crazy about these kind of patches simply because lockdep
is a lot less used out of anything that's not a lab, and we can be missing
potential offenders. There's obviously nothing wrong about what you describe
above perse, just my two cents.
