Ido Schimmel 01921d53f8 drop_monitor: Document scope of spinlock
While 'per_cpu_dm_data' is a per-CPU variable, its 'skb' and
'send_timer' fields can be accessed concurrently by the CPU sending the
netlink notification to user space from the workqueue and the CPU
tracing kfree_skb(). This spinlock is meant to protect against that.

Document its scope and suppress the checkpatch message "spinlock_t
definition without comment".

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
