I'm not too familiar with sparse notations, but Documentation/sparse.txt
suggests the above is wrong, and the following is more accurate:

	__must_hold(&c->erase_completion_lock)

But it looks like there are several other examples which do this.
Anyway, here's the relevant doc text, in case someone wants to clarify
it for me, or else tell me the documentation is wrong:

    __must_hold - The specified lock is held on function entry and exit.

    __acquires - The specified lock is held on function exit, but not entry.

    __releases - The specified lock is held on function entry, but not exit.

So __acquires and __releases look mutually exclusive, but it's not clear
if __must_hold will actually cover what we want. (I haven't tested it.)
