Subject: [PATCH 3.16 170/357] nfs: fix error handling in lock_and_join_requests

3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Weston Andros Adamson <dros@...marydata.com>

commit 94970014c46223cbcdfbfc67b89596a412f9e3dd upstream.

This fixes handling of errors from nfs_page_group_lock in
nfs_lock_and_join_requests.  It now releases the inode lock and the
reference to the head request.
