From: zhong jiang <zhongjiang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d2ab99403ee00d8014e651728a4702ea1ae5e52c ] When adding the memory by probing memory block in sysfs interface, there is an obvious issue that we will unlock the device_hotplug_lock when fails to takes it. That issue was introduced in Commit 8df1d0e4a265 ("mm/memory_hotplug: make add_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock") We should drop out in time when fails to take the device_hotplug_lock.
