There is a typo so we call unlock instead of lock.

nest_imc_refc used to maintain list of perf sessions thats using the
nest units currently. This is needed in turning off nest engine microcode
when not in use.

Yes will send a patch to fix ref->lock change.

Thanks for fix

I also don't understand how the &nest_imc_refc[node_id].lock works.  Why
can't we use ref->lock everywhere?  They seem equivalent, and my static
checker complains if we call the same lock different names.
