Yeah, I've actually simplified the labels even a bit more like:

...
        error = filemap_read_page(iocb->ki_filp, mapping, page);
        goto unlock_mapping;
unlock:
        unlock_page(page);
unlock_mapping:
        up_read(&mapping->host->i_mapping_sem);
        if (error == AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE)
                put_page(page);
        return error;

and everything now jumps to either unlock or unlock_mapping (except for
put_and_wait_on_page_locked() case).

Right, thanks for catching that!
