[PATCH] rc-core: don't return from store_protocols without releasing device mutex

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sat Dec 08 2012 - 07:51:23 EST


Commit c003ab1b ("[media] rc-core: add separate defines for protocol bitmaps
and numbers") has introduced a bug which allows store_protocols() to return
without releasing the device mutex it's holding.

Doing that would cause infinite hangs waiting on device mutex next time
around.
