locking/local_lock: Make the empty local_lock_*() function a macro.

It has been said that local_lock() does not add any overhead compared to
preempt_disable() in a !LOCKDEP configuration. A micro benchmark showed
an unexpected result which can be reduced to the fact that local_lock()
was not entirely optimized away.
In the !LOCKDEP configuration local_lock_acquire() is an empty static
inline function. On x86 the this_cpu_ptr() argument of that function is
fully evaluated leading to an additional mov+add instructions which are
not needed and not used.

Replace the static inline function with a macro. The typecheck() macro
ensures that the argument is of proper type while the resulting
disassembly shows no traces of this_cpu_ptr().
