[PATCH] jffs2: unlock f->sem on error in jffs2_new_inode()

From: Wang Guoli <andy.wangguoli at huawei.com>

If jffs2_new_inode() succeeds, it returns with f->sem held, and
the caller is responsible for releasing the lock. If it fails,
it still returns with the lock held, but the caller won't release
the lock, which will lead to deadlock.

Fix it by releasing the lock in jffs2_new_inode() on error.
