Subject: [PATCH net 04/10] iavf: don't clear a lock we don't hold

From: Nicholas Nunley <nicholas.d.nunley@...el.com>

In iavf_configure_clsflower() the function will bail out if it is unable
to obtain the crit_section lock in a reasonable time. However, it will
clear the lock when exiting, so fix this.
