Subject: carl9170: Fix mismatch in carl9170_op_set_key mutex
lock-unlock
From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshi...@ispras.ru>
commit 66cb54bd24086b2d871a03035de9b0e79b2b725e upstream.
If is_main_vif(ar, vif) reports that we have to fall back
to software encryption, we goto err_softw; before locking ar->mutex.
As a result, we have unprotected call to carl9170_set_operating_mode
and unmatched mutex_unlock.
The patch fix the issue by adding mutex_lock before goto.
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
