locking/lockdep: Eliminate redundant IRQs check in __lock_acquire()

The static __lock_acquire() function has only two callers:

 1) lock_acquire()
 2) reacquire_held_locks()

In lock_acquire(), raw_local_irq_save() is called beforehand. So
IRQs must have been disabled. So the check:

	DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled())

is kind of redundant in this case. So move the above check
to reacquire_held_locks() to eliminate redundant code in the
lock_acquire() path.
