I don't have a compelling argument for doing it. It is probably better
to release the lock from lockdep's point of view and then really release
it (so it can't be acquired before it is released).

Looking at other locking primitives (spin_lock_unlock(),
mutex_unlock(),…) that is what they do in the unlock path: lockdep
annotation followed by the actual operation. Therefore I would keep the
current ordering to remain in-sync with the other primitives.
