Message-ID <[email protected]>
lockdep provides APIs for assertion only if lockdep is enabled at the
moment asserting to avoid unnecessary confusion, using the following
condition, debug_locks && !this_cpu_read(lockdep_recursion).

However, lockdep_{off,on}() are also used for disabling and enabling
lockdep for a simular purpose.  Add !lockdep_recursing(current) that is
updated by lockdep_{off,on}() to the condition so that the assertions
are aware of !__lockdep_enabled if lockdep_off()'ed.
