[PATCH] lockdep: print irq-trace info on asserts

When we print an assert due to scheduling-in-atomic bugs, and if lockdep
is enabled, then the IRQ tracing information of lockdep can be printed
to pinpoint the code location that disabled interrupts. This saved me
quite a bit of debugging time in cases where the backtrace did not
identify the irq-disabling site well enough.
