Subject: [PATCH] staging: iio: ad7152: Improve unlocking of a mutex in
 ad7152_start_calib()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

* Add a jump target so that a call of the function "mutex_unlock" is stored
  only twice in this function implementation.

* Replace two calls by goto statements.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
