[PATCH] signals: annotate siglock acquirement
From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Sat Aug 21 2010 - 11:18:09 EST
lock_task_sighand() conditionally acquires sighand->siglock in case of
returning non-NULL but unlock_task_sighand() releases it unconditionally.
This leads sparse to complain about the lock context imbalance. Annotate it
to make sparse happier.
Impact: remove sparse warnings, no runtime overhead.
