Why remove the check for debug_locks? Isn't that there to disable
everything at once to prevent more warnings to be printed?

Also, isn't there other ways that we could have recursion besides NMIs?
Say we do a printk inside here, or call something that may also enable
interrupts? I thought the recursion check was also to prevent lockdep
infrastructure calling something that lockdep monitors being a problem?

Or am I missing something?
