unnecessary linebreak.

should be something like:

if (prev_count == preempt_count())
return;

then the rest will look cleaner as well.

Could be pr_err().

Please put 'debug' in the function name as i suggested - that way people
will only read it if they are interested in debug checks.

softirq_debug_check() would be perfect. (which might even grow new
checks in the future)
