jffs2: unlock f->sem on error in jffs2_new_inode()
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.
