There's also lockdep_assert_held(), the difference is that
assert_spin_locked() will always generate code, and only checks that the
lock is held, not that we are the current owner.

lockdep_assert_held() will only generate code for lockdep kernels and
will in fact check that the specified lock is held by the current task.
