Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rcuscale: Do a proper cleanup if kfree_scale_init() fails

A static analyzer for C, Smatch, reports and triggers below
warnings:

   kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c:1215 rcu_scale_init()
   warn: inconsistent returns 'global &fullstop_mutex'.

The checker complains about, we do not unlock the "fullstop_mutex"
mutex, in case of hitting below error path:

<snip>
...
    if (WARN_ON_ONCE(jiffies_at_lazy_cb - jif_start < 2 * HZ)) {
        pr_alert("ERROR: call_rcu() CBs are not being lazy as expected!\n");
        WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
        return -1;
        ^^^^^^^^^^
...
<snip>

it happens because "-1" is returned right away instead of
doing a proper unwinding.

Fix it by jumping to "unwind" label instead of returning -1.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/rcu/ZxfTrHuEGtgnOYWp@pc636/T/
Fixes: 084e04fff160 ("rcuscale: Add laziness and kfree tests")
