2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com>
commit c2fdd36b550659f5ac2240d1f5a83ffa1a092289 upstream.
set_lock_status omits mutex_unlock in fail path. Add the omitted
unlock.
As a result a lockup caused by this can be triggered from userspace
by writing 1 to /sys/bus/pci/slots/.../lock often enough.
