[PATCH] Remove unneeded unlock in ipc/sem.c
From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> sem_revalidate checks that a semaphore array didn't disappear while the code was running without the semaphore array spinlock. If the array disappeared, then it will return without holding a lock. find_undo calls sem_revalidate and then sem_unlock, even if sem_revalidate failed. The sem_unlock call must be removed. Mingming Cao reported a spinlock deadlock with sysv semaphores. A superflous unlock doesn't explain the deadlock, but it's obviously a bug.
