Bug#850288: python-scipy: bug in scipy._lib._threadsafety.py, decorator function name wrong

[Drew Parsons]

Package: python-scipy
Followup-For: Bug #850288

As far as I can read the code, it is correct to use decorate on a
function rather than decorator. The source says it is obsolete
behaviour to use decorator() with a function.

Can you explain why you think it needs to be done?

Note you've given the arguments in the reverse order. The signature for
decorator is decorator(caller, _func=None), not decorator(func, caller).

ReentrancyLock class, decorate function has to be modified to:
