Subject: [PATCH v1 07/25] lockdep: Add preemption disabled assertion API

Asserting that preemption is disabled is a critical sanity check.
Developers are usually reluctant to add such a check in a fastpath, as
reading the preemption count can be costly.

Extend the lockdep API with a preemption disabled assertion. If lockdep
is disabled, or if the underlying architecture does not support kernel
preemption, this assert has no runtime overhead.

Since the lockdep assertion references sched.h task_struct current,
define it at lockdep.c instead of lockdep.h. This unbinds a potential
circular header dependency chain for call-sites, defined inlined, at
other header files already included and needed by sched.h.

Mark the exported assertion symbol with NOKPROBE_SYMBOL. Lockdep
functions can be involved in breakpoint handling and probing on those
functions can cause a breakpoint recursion.
