Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: do not unlock after failing to take the device_hotplug_lock
When adding memory by probing a memory block in the sysfs interface, there
is an obvious issue where we will unlock the device_hotplug_lock when we
failed to takes it.
That issue was introduced in 8df1d0e4a265 ("mm/memory_hotplug: make
add_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock").
We should drop out in time when failing to take the device_hotplug_lock.
