[PATCH] posix-timers: annotate lock_timer()

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Sat Sep 25 2010 - 12:10:13 EST


lock_timer() conditionally grabs it_lock in case of returning non-NULL
but unlock_timer() releases it unconditionally. This leads sparse to
complain about the lock context imbalance. Rename and wrap lock_timer
using __cond_lock() macro to make sparse happy.
