[PATCH] cpufreq: unlock when failing cpufreq_update_policy()

[Aaron Plattner]

Commit bd0fa9bb455d introduced a failure path to cpufreq_update_policy() if
cpufreq_driver->get(cpu) returns NULL.  However, it jumps to the 'no_policy'
label, which exits without unlocking any of the locks the function acquired
earlier.  This causes later calls into cpufreq to hang.

Fix this by creating a new 'unlock' label and jumping to that instead.

Fixes: bd0fa9bb455d ("cpufreq: Return error if ->get() failed in cpufreq_update_policy()")

I haven't reproduced this problem so I couldn't test it, but the bug and its
solution seem obvious enough.
