Bah, I can't read. So I was looking at:

	if (DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled()))

but that wasn't what I actually moved around. *sigh*..

A well, I'll just remove the __ here. It's not like we super care about
performance here.

Something like so then..

Subject: lockdep: Fix preemption WARN for spurious IRQ-enable
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
Date: Thu Oct 22 12:23:02 CEST 2020

It is valid (albeit uncommon) to call local_irq_enable() without first
having called local_irq_disable(). In this case we enter
lockdep_hardirqs_on*() with IRQs enabled and trip a preemption warning
for using __this_cpu_read().

Use this_cpu_read() instead to avoid the warning.
