Oops, sorry.  It only defines

#define lockdep_is_held_type(l, r)              (1)
#define lockdep_assert_held(l)                  do { (void)(l); } while (0)
#define lockdep_assert_held_write(l)    do { (void)(l); } while (0)
#define lockdep_assert_held_read(l)             do { (void)(l); } while (0)
#define lockdep_assert_held_once(l)             do { (void)(l); } while (0)

which seems like an oversight, but not one that you should be fixing.

Yes, I agree.
