OK, Mitch's report prompted me to actually take a look. This patch is
wrong: by defining lockdep_is_held(l) to 0 in !LOCKDEP case you
effectively mimic the behaviour of spin_is_locked() which is what
getting us in the first place.

get_restripe_target() interface is WIP so I will replace BUG_ON with a
comment and send a patch through btrfs tree.

Thanks,

Ilya
