Unless you have redefined EFAULT in some strange and hideous way, it is not "called" and doesn't free the spinlock. EFAULT is defined as a literal integer, so you're just returning a number without freeing the spinlock.
If you have redefined EFAULT to a macro function call or whatever, then don't do that, it's REALLY horrible coding practice.
