lockdep: Fix lock_is_held() on recursion

The main lock_is_held() user is lockdep_assert_held(), avoid false
assertions in lockdep_off() sections by unconditionally reporting the
lock is taken.

[ the reason this is important is a lockdep_assert_held() in ttwu()
  which triggers a warning under lockdep_off() as in printk() which
  can trigger another wakeup and lock up due to spinlock
  recursion, as reported and heroically debugged by Arne Jansen ]
