[PATCH] staging: sm750fb: fix sparse warning for lock

Use __acquire() and __release() in the right place to silence the sparse
lock checking warning.

drivers/staging/sm750fb/sm750.c:177:13: warning: context imbalance in 'lynxfb_ops_fillrect' - different lock contexts for basic block
drivers/staging/sm750fb/sm750.c:243:9: warning: context imbalance in 'lynxfb_ops_copyarea' - different lock contexts for basic block
drivers/staging/sm750fb/sm750.c:247:13: warning: context imbalance in 'lynxfb_ops_imageblit' - different lock contexts for basic block

That's horrid, please don't do stuff like this just to make a static

Sparse is really bad at locking stuff.  Smatch is also really bad for
locking and I have been promising to re-write that check for years, but
I take comfort always in the fact that at least it's not as bad as
Sparse.

You should pretty much ignore Sparse locking warnings.
