This patch releases semaphore locks when an error occurrs while attempting to download firmware for the bcm driver. When downloading firmware for this driver, a process is expected to call the following ioctl's in this order: (1)IOCTL_BCM_BUFFER_DOWNLOAD_START, (2)IOCTL_BCM_BUFFER_DOWNLOAD, and (3) IOCTL_BCM_BUFFER_DOWNLOAD_STOP. Semaphore, “Adapter->fw_download_sema” is expected to be acquired in the first ioctl, IOCTL_BCM_BUFFER_DOWNLOAD_START, and it should block until IOCTL_BCM_BUFFER_DOWNLOAD_STOP is called. In this case, if an error occurred before STOP finished, the semaphore "Adapter->fw_download_sema" was not being released.
