From: Jules Irenge <jbi.octave@xxxxxxxxx> Sparse reports warning at rcu_nocb_bypass_lock() |warning: context imbalance in rcu_nocb_bypass_lock() - wrong count at exit To fix this, this commit adds an __acquires(&rdp->nocb_bypass_lock). Given that rcu_nocb_bypass_lock() does actually call raw_spin_lock() when raw_spin_trylock() fails, this not only fixes the warning but also improves on the readability of the code.
