lockdep: Check if nested lock is actually held

It is considered good form to lock the lock you claim to be nested in.

Signed-off-by: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@canonical.com>

[ removed nest_lock arg to print_lock_nested_lock_not_held in favour
  of hlock->nest_lock, also renamed the lock arg to hlock since its
  a held_lock type ]
