    jffs2: fix unbalanced locking · 7aaea760
    Brian Norris 提交于
    Li Zefan reported an unbalanced locking issue, found by his
    internal debugging feature on runtime. The particular case he was
    looking at doesn't lead to a deadlock, as the structure that this lock
    is embedded in is freed on error. But we should straighten out the error
    handling.
    
    Because several callers of jffs2_do_read_inode_internal() /
    jffs2_do_read_inode() already handle the locking/unlocking and inode
    clearing at their own level, let's just push any unlocks/clearing down
    to the caller. This consistency is much easier to verify.
