Subject: [PATCH 4.9 39/39] misc: panel: properly restore atomic counter on error path

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

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

commit 93dc1774d2a4c7a298d5cdf78cc8acdcb7b1428d upstream.

Commit f4757af ("staging: panel: Fix single-open policy race condition")
introduced in 3.19-rc1 attempted to fix a race condition on the open, but
failed to properly do it and used to exit without restoring the semaphore.

This results in -EBUSY being returned after the first open error until
the module is reloaded or the system restarted (ie: consecutive to a
dual open resulting in -EBUSY or to a permission error).

Fixes: f4757af85 # 3.19-rc1
