media: dvb_frontend: fix locking issues at dvb_frontend_get_event()
As warned by smatch: drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c:314 dvb_frontend_get_event() warn: inconsistent returns 'sem:&fepriv->sem'. Locked on: line 288 line 295 line 306 line 314 Unlocked on: line 303 The lock implementation for get event is wrong, as, if an interrupt occurs, down_interruptible() will fail, and the routine will call up() twice when userspace calls the ioctl again. The bad code is there since when Linux migrated to git, in 2005. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
