Subject: [ 34/34] PM / Sleep: Fix read_unlock_usermodehelper() call.

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp>

[ Upstream commit e4c89a508f4385a0cd8681c2749a2cd2fa476e40 ]

Commit b298d289
 "PM / Sleep: Fix freezer failures due to racy usermodehelper_is_disabled()"
added read_unlock_usermodehelper() but read_unlock_usermodehelper() is called
without read_lock_usermodehelper() when kmalloc() failed.
