This one is questionnable because:
1) if !node->proc, then '&node->proc->inner_lock' is not acquired
   since it doesn't even exist.
2) OTOH, the function can't have the annotation 100% right because
   it semantics allows unbalanced locking depending on node->proc
   being null or not.
But I see very well the intent and maybe it's a right solution.
I dunno.

Same for most of the following ones.
