2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jiri Slaby commit c2fdd36b550659f5ac2240d1f5a83ffa1a092289 upstream. set_lock_status omits mutex_unlock in fail path. Add the omitted unlock. As a result a lockup caused by this can be triggered from userspace by writing 1 to /sys/bus/pci/slots/.../lock often enough.
