It turned out the answer was yes, it can be removed.

The locking is correct.  Take a look at it.

We are holding the &arche_pdata->wake_lock in arche_platform_wd_irq()
and every place that calls arche_platform_set_wake_detect_state() takes
that lock first.  So it can't change in the background.

Delete the check like so.
