From: Xiaochen Shen <xiaochen.shen@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c8eafe1495303bfd0eedaa8156b1ee9082ee9642 ] rdtgroup_cpus_write() and mkdir_rdt_prepare() call rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() -> kernfs_to_rdtgroup() to get 'rdtgrp', and then call the rdt_last_cmd_{clear,puts,...}() functions which will check if rdtgroup_mutex is held/requires its caller to hold rdtgroup_mutex. But if 'rdtgrp' returned from kernfs_to_rdtgroup() is NULL, rdtgroup_mutex is not held and calling rdt_last_cmd_{clear,puts,...}() will result in a self-incurred, potential lockdep warning. Remove the rdt_last_cmd_{clear,puts,...}() calls in these two paths. Just returning error should be sufficient to report to the user that the entry doesn't exist any more.
