From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> commit 074376ac0e1d1fcd4fafebca86ee6158e7c20680 upstream. ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() is acquiring text_mutex, while the corresponding release is happening in ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process(). This has already been documented in the code, but let's also make the fact that this is intentional clear to the semantic analysis tools such as sparse.
