Subject: [PATCH v2] coccinelle: locks: Add balancedlock.cocci script

When acquiring locks under certain conditions, they must be released
under the same conditions as well. However, sometimes, there may be
missing unlocks which may lead to a potential deadlock.

Add this script to detect such code segments and avoid potential
deadlock situations.

Signed-off-by: Sumera Priyadarsini <sylphrenadin@...il.com>
---
Changes in v2(as suggested by Markus):
- Modify usage of position variable
- Modify comments
- Add dependencies for rules
