[PATCH] jffs2: Make handling of erase_completion_lock consistent in jffs2_do_reserve_space()

From: Alexey Khoroshilov
Date: Mon Nov 05 2012 - 13:40:29 EST


Users of jffs2_do_reserve_space() expect they still held
erase_completion_lock after call to it. But there is a path
where jffs2_do_reserve_space() leaves erase_completion_lock unlocked.
The patch fixes it.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
