Subject: [PATCH 4.1 189/267] md: unlock mddev_lock on an error path.

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

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

From: NeilBrown <neilb@...e.de>

commit 9a8c0fa861e4db60409b4dda254cef5e17e4d43c upstream.

This error path retuns while still holding the lock - bad.

Fixes: 6791875e2e53 ("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes to md sysfs files.")
