[PATCH RESEND] signal: annotate siglock acquisition

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Fri Sep 24 2010 - 23:22:11 EST


lock_task_sighand() conditionally acquires sighand->siglock in case of
returning non-NULL but unlock_task_sighand() releases it unconditionally.
This leads sparse to complain about the lock context imbalance. Annotate it
to make sparse happier.
