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 451a3c24 ("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.
