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".
