Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/7] net: sched: Remove broken definitions and un-hide for !LOCKDEP

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>

Currently, variables used only within lockdep expressions are flagged as
unused, requiring that these variables' declarations be decorated with
either #ifdef or __maybe_unused.  This results in ugly code.  This commit
therefore causes the full definitions of the lockdep_tcf_chain_is_locked()
and lockdep_tcf_proto_is_locked() functions to be visible even when
lockdep is not enabled, thus removing the need for the previous empty
functions that were provided in non-lockdep kernels.  This approach
further relies on dead-code elimination to remove any references to
functions or variables that are not available in non-lockdep kernels.
