4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 66117a9d9a8ca948680d6554769ef9e88f936954 ] My static checker complains that we're holding a mutex on this error path. Let's goto exit instead of returning directly.
