2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]>

commit f2513cde93f0957d5dc6c09bc24b0cccd27d8e1d upstream.

The main lock_is_held() user is lockdep_assert_held(), avoid false
assertions in lockdep_off() sections by unconditionally reporting the
lock is taken.

[ the reason this is important is a lockdep_assert_held() in ttwu()
  which triggers a warning under lockdep_off() as in printk() which
  can trigger another wakeup and lock up due to spinlock
  recursion, as reported and heroically debugged by Arne Jansen ]
