[PATCH] lockdep: Fix lock_is_held on recursion

Subject: lockdep: Fix lock_is_held on recursion
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>

The main lock_is_held() user is lockdep_assert_held(), avoid false
assertions in lockdep_off() sections by unconditionally reporting the
lock is taken.

[ the reason this is important is a lockdep_assert_held() in ttwu()
  which triggers a warning under lockdep_off() as in printk() which
  can trigger another wakeup and lock up due to spinlock recursion ]
