5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d04071a5d6413b65f17f7bd6e2bdb22e22e4ace7 upstream. We added some locking to this function but forgot to drop the lock on these two error paths. This bug would lead to an immediate deadlock.
