To be more correct, we should use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING) as 
this is the real kconfig that enables most of the lockdep checking. 
PROVE_LOCKING selects LOCKDEP but not vice versa. So for some weird 
configs that set LOCKDEP but not PROVE_LOCKING, it can cause compilation 
problem.

Other than that, the rest looks good to me.
