Subject: [PATCH] dma-debug: Track bucket lock state for static checkers

get_hash_bucket() and put_hash_bucket() acquire and release the
same spinlock, but this confuses static checkers such as sparse

lib/dma-debug.c:254:27: warning: context imbalance in 'get_hash_bucket' - wrong count at exit
lib/dma-debug.c:268:13: warning: context imbalance in 'put_hash_bucket' - unexpected unlock

Add the appropriate acquire and release statements so that
checkers can properly track the lock state.
