I would like to keep that check and that is why we have:

|   #if defined(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL)
|         sleeping_l = t->sleeping_lock;
|   #endif
|         WARN_ON_ONCE(!preempt && t->rcu_read_lock_nesting > 0 && !sleeping_l);

in -RT and ->sleeping_lock is that counter that is incremented in
spin_lock(). And the only reason why sleeping_lock_inc() was used in the
patch was to disable _this_ warning.
