Subject: [PATCH 3.18 104/104] device_cgroup: fix RCU imbalance in error case

From: Jann Horn <jannh@...gle.com>

commit 0fcc4c8c044e117ac126ab6df4138ea9a67fa2a9 upstream.

When dev_exception_add() returns an error (due to a failed memory
allocation), make sure that we move the RCU preemption count back to where
it was before we were called. We dropped the RCU read lock inside the loop
body, so we can't just "break".

sparse complains about this, too:

$ make -s C=2 security/device_cgroup.o
./include/linux/rcupdate.h:647:9: warning: context imbalance in
'propagate_exception' - unexpected unlock

Fixes: d591fb56618f ("device_cgroup: simplify cgroup tree walk in propagate_exception()")
