lockdep: Add lockdep_assert_not_held()
Some kernel functions must be called without holding a specific lock. Add lockdep_assert_not_held() to be used in these functions to detect incorrect calls while holding a lock. lockdep_assert_not_held() provides the opposite functionality of lockdep_assert_held() which is used to assert calls that require holding a specific lock. Incorporates suggestions from Peter Zijlstra to avoid misfires when lockdep_off() is employed. The need for lockdep_assert_not_held() came up in a discussion on ath10k patch. ath10k_drain_tx() and i915_vma_pin_ww() are examples of functions that can use lockdep_assert_not_held().
