Subject: [PATCH] [mtrr] Add lock annotations for prepare_set and post_set

The functions prepare_set and post_set in kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c wrap the
spinlock set_atomicity_lock: prepare_set returns with the lock held, and
post_set releases the lock without acquiring it.  Add lock annotations to
these two functions so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so
that sparse will not complain about these functions since they intentionally
use locks in this manner.
