Agreed!

but can't we do this in a separate patch? (I will be happy to do
this trivial exercise ;)

This change is trivial, but perhaps it would be better to keep the
initial patch as simple as possible. And discuss the potential
"cosmetic" issues (like naming) separately. Say, rcu_lockdep_assert.
We can't use it directly, we need the new helper.

Oleg.
