Subject: [PATCH 1/3] nfs: add lock annotations to squelch sparse warnings

sparse, being a static analyzer, emits the following warnings:

  context imbalance in 'nfs_server_list_start' - wrong count at exit
  context imbalance in 'nfs_server_list_start' - unexpected unlock
  context imbalance in 'nfs_volume_list_start' - wrong count at exit
  context imbalance in 'nfs_volume_list_start' - unexpected unlock

Help it by annotating the pairs of functions with __acquires and
__releases.
