Not related to your code, but whoever wrote this code originally deserves
a big slap in the face for writing such obsfucated code. This should be
something like:

mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex);
set = inode->i_private;
if (!set) {
set = kmalloc(sizeof(struct sysfs_buffer_collection),
GFP_KERNEL))) {
if (!set)
mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex);
error = -ENOMEM;
goto Done;
}
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&set->associates);
inode->i_private = set;
}
mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex);
