Hmm, I was borrowing the strategy from rcu_read_lock_bh_held() which does not
check for a lock held in this map.

Honestly, even  lock_is_held(&rcu_sched_lock_map) seems unnecessary per-se
since !preemptible() will catch that? rcu_read_lock_sched() disables
preemption already, so lockdep's opinion of the matter seems redundant there.

Sorry I already sent out patches again before seeing your comment but I can
rework and resend them based on any other suggestions.

thanks,
