You can make this allocation outisde the spinlock, then there won't be
need to release it if the allocation fails.

You are still holding pHandle->hSem here. Moreover, all error paths
return while still holding pHandle->hSem.
I'd suggest, that instead of trying to return immediately, you'd better
move error handling code to the end of the function and use goto and
several labels to do appropriate cleanups depending on when the error
was caught. E.g.
mem_free:
kfree(pstrMessage);
release_lock:
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&pHandle->strCriticalSection, flags);
release_sem:
up(&pHandle->sem);
out:
return result;
