4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Romain Perier <romain.perier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit fba7cd681b6155e2d93e7862fcd6f970336b83c3 upstream.
The recent decoupling of pagefault disable and preempt disable added an
explicit preempt_disable/enable() pair to the futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
implementation in asm-generic/futex.h. But it forgot to add preempt_enable()
calls to the error handling code pathes, which results in a preemption count
imbalance.
This is observable on boot when the test for atomic_cmpxchg() is calling
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() on a NULL pointer.
Add the missing preempt_enable() calls to the error handling code pathes.
