[PATCH] netdevice: fix sparse warning for HARD_TX_LOCK

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Thu Nov 24 2016 - 00:04:16 EST


sparse warns about context imbalance in any code
that uses HARD_TX_LOCK/UNLOCK - this is because it's
unable to determine that flags don't change so
lock and unlock are paired.

Seems easy enough to fix by adding __acquire/__release
calls.

With this patch af_packet.c is now sparse-clean,
