Subject: ps3: vuart: fix error path locking
From: Daniel Walker <dwalker@xxxxxxxxxx>

This stray down would cause a permanent sleep which doesn't seem correct. 
The other uses of this semaphore appear fairly mutex like it's even
initialized with init_MUTEX() ..  So here a patch for removing this one
down().
