After analyzing the issue a bit more, it seems that I have to remove 
"unlikely" from lrng_drng_lock which seems to cause additional grief
with sparse. Note, sparse will still report a lock context imbalance as it
used to since we indeed have two lock context as documented in
lrng_drng_switch.

Ciao
