The documentation for these functions indicates that callers don't need to hold a lock while calling them, but that documentation is only in one place under "IDA Usage". Let's state the same information on each IDA function so that it's clear what the calling context requires. Furthermore, let's document ida_simple_get() with the same information so that callers know how this API works.

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.
