Subject: [PATCH] debugfs: fix double unlock in open_proxy_open()

In case an open is racing with a debugfs file removal, the corresponding
error path in open_proxy_open() releases its SRCU read side critical
section twice, i.e. it does a double unlock.

Fix that by purging the extra unlock operation.
