The commit log does not answer to "Why?". How did you find this? What
actual problem are you trying to solve?

Empty line after WARN_ON().

Shouldn't this check debug_locks similarly lockdep_assert_held() does?

#define lockdep_assert_held(l) do { \
WARN_ON(debug_locks && !lockdep_is_held(l)); \
} while (0)

And I suspect you need #ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP which should fix the kbuild
bot error.

But honestly I would prefer to have lockdep_assert_not_held() in
include/linux/lockdep.h, much cleaner that way. Also
i915_gem_object_lookup_rcu() could then use the same macro.
