Subject: [ 020/167] [PATCH] [media] drxk: Does not unlock mutex if sanity check failed
 in scu_command()

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@...ras.ru>

commit e4459e1682c107d7ee1bf102c1ba534230e9b50b upstream.

If sanity check fails in scu_command(), goto error leads to unlock of
an unheld mutex. The check should not fail in reality, but it nevertheless
worth fixing.

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