From: zhong jiang <zhongjiang@xxxxxxxxxx> 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.
