Yes, it does.

Yeah, I personally don't have a strong preference. Both have advantages and
disadvantages - as you said, lockdep_assert_held() is reliable when lockdep
is enabled but there's much less testing happening with lockdep enabled and
also lockdep changes the timing enough that some cases just need not
trigger...
