This require_context attribute originated in a proposed sparse patch by Philipp Reisner back in 2008. Johannes Berg had a different solution to a similar problem, and that patch "won" in the end; so the require_context thing never got merged. The whole history can be read at [0]. DRBD kept using these annotations anyway for a while. Nowadays, on a modern unmodified sparse, they obviously do nothing, and they are hardly used anymore anyway. So, just remove the definitions of these macros.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
