applied to tip/core/locking - thanks Rui.

since you fixed it i prefer the fix over the removal. We could still 
remove the !TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT now (in a separate commit) and 
simpify this header a bit that way. Thus if someone needs the 
!TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT mode of build for future work, it can be 
restored via a simple revert.
