lockdep: make lockdep_assert_held() not have a return value

I recently made the mistake of writing:

  foo = lockdep_dereference_protected(..., lockdep_assert_held(...));

which is clearly bogus.  If lockdep is disabled in the config this would
cause a compile failure, if it is enabled then it compiles and causes a
puzzling warning about dereferencing without the correct protection.

Wrap the macro in "do { ...  } while (0)" to also fail compile for this
when lockdep is enabled.
