If CONFIG_LOCKDEP is disabled this will fail with:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/mac.c:2301:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'lockdep_is_held' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

I wasn't able to come up with any other way than adding '#ifdef
CONFIG_LOCKDEP' which is quite ugly. What should we do?
