I'd prefer it a lockdep_assert_held(&dex_region->lock). This of cause has the
drawback that it won't trigger w/o lockdep but enabled, but I don't think it's
the responibility of a production kernel to have this warnings anyway. On the
flip side you get all the lockdep beauty for free with it.

See above
