Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Lock warning clean up

This patch series adds missing annotations to functions that register warnings of context imbalance when built with Sparse tool.
The adds fix these warnings and give insight on what the functions are actually doing.
In the core kernel,
1. RCU:  a __releases() annotation is added as the functin exit trhe
critical section
2. acct: Multiple warnings were reported, adding  __releases(RCU) to the
fs_pin header file function declaration location clears these warnings
as the function releases RCU lock at exit.
Jules Irenge (2):
  fs_pin: Add missing annotation to pin_kill() declaration
  rcu/nocb: Add missing annotation for rcu_nocb_bypass_unlock()
