[PATCH] net: inet: diag: Fix an error handling

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Mon Sep 12 2016 - 02:02:39 EST


If 'inet_diag_lock_handler()' returns an error, we should not call
'inet_diag_unlock_handler()' on it.
'handler' is not a valid mutexc in this case.

This has been spotted with the folowing coccinelle script:
////////////////////////////
@@
expression x;
identifier f;
@@

* if (IS_ERR(x))
{
...
* f(<+... x ...+>);
...
}
