Sorry, I should have added the "lockdep_" prefix when I mentioned adding
this helper function to be consistent with the others. Could you update
the patch to add that?
Thanks,

Thank you.
I was tangled on whether to add the lockdep_ prefix, since lockdep_assert_cpus_held has it. But I
named it as you suggested originally. I'll update the patch accordingly.
