Subject: [PATCH] mm, memory_hotplug: __offline_pages fix wrong locking

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

Jan has noticed that we do double unlock on some failure paths when
offlining a page range. This is indeed the case when test_pages_in_a_zone
respp. start_isolate_page_range fail. This was an omission when forward
porting the debugging patch from an older kernel.

Fix the issue by dropping mem_hotplug_done from the failure condition
and keeping the single unlock in the catch all failure path.

Reported-by: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>
Fixes: 7960509329c2 ("mm, memory_hotplug: print reason for the offlining failure")
