IB/core: Eliminate sparse false context imbalance warning
When write_gid function needs to do a sleep-able operation, it unlocks table->rwlock and then relocks it. Sparse complains about context imbalance. This is safe as write_gid is always called with table->rwlock. write_gid protects from simultaneous writes to this GID entry by setting the GID_TABLE_ENTRY_INVALID flag. Fixes: 9c584f049596 ('IB/core: Change per-entry lock in RoCE GID table to one lock') Signed-off-by: Matan Barak <matanb@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com>
