spin_lock may be an empty struct for !SMP configurations and so arch_spin_is_locked may return unconditional 0 and trigger the VM_BUG_ON even when the lock is held. Replace spin_is_locked by lockdep_assert_held. We will not BUG anymore but it is questionable whether crashing makes a lot of sense in the uncharge path. Uncharge happens after the last page reference was released so nobody should touch the page and the function doesn't update any shared state except for res counter which uses synchronization of its own.
