Sparse reports a warning at lec_priv_walk()
warning: context imbalance in lec_priv_walk() - unexpected unlock

The root cause is the missing annotation at lec_priv_walk()
To fix this, __acquire() and __release() annotations
are added in case conditions are not met.
This only instruct  Sparse to shutdown the warning

Add the  __acquire(&priv->lec_arp_lock)
Add __release(&priv->lec_arp_lock) annotation
