Using goto for errorhandling here would have been nicer.
Also did you forget to include smp_locks.h?

"goto out" would be cleaner.

Improved "goto" errorhandling would be nicer.
Is smp_lock.h included by other files?

Lot's of other places could benefit from improved goto error handling.
The driver maintainers should do this (if there is a maintainer).
I stopped with the small replacement patches.

I did not find anything else going through this patch.
