Subject: IB/rdmavt: Correct sparse annotation

From: Mike Marciniszyn <[email protected]>

commit eefa1d8961584c5b76afded94960ca4344bc638b upstream.

The __must_hold() is sufficent to correct the sparse context imbalance inside a function.

Per Documentation/sparse.txt:
__must_hold - The specified lock is held on function entry and exit.
