3.16.83-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicolai Stange <nstange@xxxxxxx> commit c7bf1fb7ddca331780b9a733ae308737b39f1ad4 upstream. Commit e5e884b42639 ("libertas: Fix two buffer overflows at parsing bss descriptor") introduced a bounds check on the number of supplied rates to lbs_ibss_join_existing(). Unfortunately, it introduced a return path from within a RCU read side critical section without a corresponding rcu_read_unlock(). Fix this.
