Subject: [PATCH] staging: lirc_sasem: fix NULL pointer dereference in sasem_probe

If any memory allocation failed, goto alloc_status_switch
leads to mutex_unlock(&context->ctx_lock) while context is NULL.
The patch moves alloc_status_switch to handle error conditions
in correct way.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
