Subject: [RFC PATCH] fs: proc: task_mmu: fix sparse warnings

When building the kernel with sparse enabled 'C=1' the following
warnings can be seen:

fs/proc/task_mmu.c:587:17: warning: context imbalance in 'smaps_pte_range' - unexpected unlock
fs/proc/task_mmu.c:1145:28: warning: context imbalance in 'clear_refs_pte_range' - unexpected unlock
fs/proc/task_mmu.c:1473:28: warning: context imbalance in 'pagemap_pmd_range' - unexpected unlock
fs/proc/task_mmu.c:1811:28: warning: context imbalance in 'gather_pte_stats' - unexpected unlock

Rework to add __acquire() and __release() to tell sparse that it is all good.
