[PATCH 2/5] locking/lockdep: Eliminate redundant irqs check in __lock_acquire()

From: Waiman Long
Date: Fri Sep 28 2018 - 13:53:45 EST


The static __lock_acquire() function has only two callers:

1) lock_acquire()
2) reacquire_held_locks()

In lock_acquire(), raw_local_irq_save() is called before hand. So
irqs must have been disabled. So the check

DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled())

is kind of redundant in thise case. So move the above check
to reacquire_held_locks() to eliminate redundant code in the
lock_acquire path.
