Subject[S390] extmem unbalanced spin_lock.
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

[S390] extmem unbalanced spin_lock.

segment save will exit with a lock held if the passed segment doesn't
exist. Any subsequent call to segment_save will lead to a deadlock.
Fix this and give up the lock before returning.
