Fix build failure due to hwirq.h needing smp_lock.h
Arnd Bergmann did an automated scripting run to find left-over instances
of <linux/smp_lock.h>, and had made it trigger it on the normal BKL use
of lock_kernel and unlock_lernel (and apparently release_kernel_lock and
reacquire_kernel_lock too, used by the scheduler).
That resulted in commit 451a3c24b013 ("BKL: remove extraneous #include
<smp_lock.h>").
However, hardirq.h was the only remaining user of the old
'kernel_locked()' interface, and Arnd's script hadn't checked for that.
So depending on your configuration and what header files had been
included, you would get errors like "implicit declaration of function
'kernel_locked'" during the build.
The right fix is not to just re-instate the smp_lock.h include - it is
to just remove 'kernel_locked()' entirely, since the only use was this
one special low-level detail. Just make hardirq.h do it directly.
In fact this simplifies and clarifies the code, because some trivial
analysis makes it clear that hardirq.h only ever used _one_ of the two
definitions of kernel_locked(), so we can remove the other one entirely.
