Remove the lockdep_off() usage from printk(). Also add a debug_locks_off() call to zap_locks() since that'll mess up the lock state in a royal way anyway, and zap_locks() when lockdep causes a printk() recursion so that we can at observe the splat. Further switch to local_irq_ ops so that the irq state is properly tracked (raw_local_irq_* isn't tracked by lockdep, causing confusion). Also drop superfluous preempt_disable(), disabling IRQs already avoids scheduling.
