Huh, I didn't even know you _could_ do that :)
Me neither ;-). Above you are removing the WARN_ON_ONCE() entirely. 
Would it not be good to keep the WARN_ON_ONCE() with only the 
!rcu_read_lock_held() check.
Not needed, the macro expansion will already contain
rcu_read_lock_any_held() just like in all the other cases where you pass
a lockdep condition to RCU helpers.
