Currently, RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() checks the condition before checking
to see if lockdep is still enabled.  This is necessary to avoid the
false-positive splats fixed by commit 3066820034b5dd ("rcu: Reject
RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() false positives").  However, the current state can
result in false-positive splats during early boot before lockdep is fully
initialized.  This commit therefore checks debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled()
both before and after checking the condition, thus avoiding both sets
of false-positive error reports.
