SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/5 v2] drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c: eliminate a null pointer dereference
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

It is not possible to take the lock in device if device is NULL.
The mutex_lock is thus moved after the NULL test, and the relevant part of
the shared error handling code is moved up.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r@
expression E, E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2,S3;
@@

if (E == NULL)
{
... when != if (E == NULL || ...) S1 else S2
when != E = E1
*E->f
... when any
return ...;
}
else S3
// </smpl>

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

mutex_lock changed to mutex_unlock in error handling code
