Subject: [PATCH] nfp: Improve unlocking of a mutex in area_cache_get()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2017 17:12:10 +0200

Add a jump target so that a call of the function "mutex_unlock" is stored
only once at the end of this function implementation.
Replace four calls by goto statements.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
