Subject: [PATCH 2/17] fs: Add missing mutex_unlock

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

Add a mutex_unlock missing on the error path.  At other exists from the
function that return an error flag, the mutex is unlocked, so do the same
here.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression E1;
@@

* mutex_lock(E1,...);
  <+... when != E1
  if (...) {
    ... when != E1
*   return ...;
  }
  ...+>
* mutex_unlock(E1,...);
// </smpl>
