Ah, see how mutex_held will be true for !debug_locks and therefore we'll
not trigger the warn.

Maybe not the best way to code that though.

Something like so perhaps:

static void module_assert_mutex_or_preempt(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
	if (!debug_locks)
		return;

	WARN_ON(!rcu_held_lock_sched_held() &&
		!lockdep_is_held(&module_mutex));
#endif
}
