s390/diag: avoid lockdep recursion
The diagnose tracer will indirectly call back into the lockdep code when lockdep does not expect it (arch_spinlock). This causes lockdep to disable itself and therefore we don't have a working lock dependency validator anymore. This patch effectively disables tracing of diag 0x9c and 0x44 if lockdep is enabled. If however lockdep is enabled spinlocks are mainly implemented using a trylock variant, which will not issue any diag 0x9c or 0x44. So this change has hardly any effect on tracing except when arch_spinlock and friends are explicitly used.
