you forgot debug_locks here.

I'm not sure I'd put irqs_disabled() under BH, also this entire
condition is superfluous, see below.

that !preemptible() turns into:

  !(preempt_count()==0 && !irqs_disabled())

which is:

  preempt_count() != 0 || irqs_disabled()

and already includes irqs_disabled() and in_softirq().

So maybe something lke:

	if (debug_locks && (lock_is_held(&rcu_lock_map) ||
			    lock_is_held(&rcu_sched_lock_map)))
		return true;

	return !preemptible();
