[PATCH v2] ptrace: annotate siglock acquisition

[Namhyung Kim]

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.

Roland, I sent the same patch a month ago and got your Acked-by but this
time I update it using __cond_lock() suggested by Al Viro. Please take a
look again, Thanks.
