Subject: [PATCH 2/2] : Add local_irq_restore in error handling code

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

There is a call to local_irq_restore in the normal exit case, so it would
seem that there should be one on an error return as well.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression l;
expression E,E1,E2;
@@

local_irq_save(l);
... when != local_irq_restore(l)
    when != spin_unlock_irqrestore(E,l)
    when any
    when strict
(
if (...) { ... when != local_irq_restore(l)
               when != spin_unlock_irqrestore(E1,l)
+   local_irq_restore(l);
    return ...;
}
|
if (...)
+   {local_irq_restore(l);
    return ...;
+   }
|
spin_unlock_irqrestore(E2,l);
|
local_irq_restore(l);
)
// </smpl>
