[069/152] econet: Do the correct cleanup after an unprivileged SIOCSIFADDR.

[Greg KH]

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Nelson Elhage <nelhage@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f24b8bedf70c524775eabd51570c3fa7708a97b7 ]

We need to drop the mutex and do a dev_put, so set an error code and break like
the other paths, instead of returning directly.
