[PATCH] jffs2: Make handling of erase_completion_lock consistent in jffs2_do_reserve_space()

Users of jffs2_do_reserve_space() expect they still held
erase_completion_lock after call to it. But there is a path
where jffs2_do_reserve_space() leaves erase_completion_lock unlocked.
The patch fixes it.
