locking/lockdep: Add IRQs disabled/enabled assertion APIs: lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled()/disabled()
Checking whether IRQs are enabled or disabled is a very common sanity check, however not free of overhead especially on fastpath where such assertion is very common. Lockdep is a good host for such concurrency correctness check and it even already tracks down IRQs disablement state. Just reuse its machinery. This will allow us to get rid of the flags pop and check overhead from fast path when kernel is built for production.
