Subject: [PATCH v2] Pass sparse the lock expression given to lock
	annotations

The lock annotation macros __acquires, __releases, __acquire, and __release
all currently throw away the lock expression passed as an argument.  Now that
sparse can parse __context__ and __attribute__((context)) with a context
expression, pass the lock expression down to sparse as the context expression.
This requires a version of sparse from GIT commit
37475a6c1c3e66219e68d912d5eb833f4098fd72 or later.

Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@...edesktop.org>

The current sparse GIT tree now includes my patch for parsing a context
expression; updated commit message to reference the GIT commit in the
sparse tree, and to fix a typo.  Please replace
"pass-sparse-the-lock-expression-given-to-lock-annotations.patch" in the
current -mm tree with this patch.
