Subject: [PATCH 3/17] arch/mips/kernel: Add missing read_unlock

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

Add a read_unlock missing on the error path.  Other ways of reaching
out_unlock have tasklist_lock unlocked.

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

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

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

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

I wasn't able to find what security_task_setscheduler actually does.  
If it releases tasklist_lock in an error case, then ignire this patch.
