mqueue: sys_mq_open: do not call mnt_drop_write() if read-only
mnt_drop_write() must be called only if mnt_want_write() succeeded, otherwise the mnt_writers counter will diverge. mnt_writers counters are used to check if remounting FS as read-only is OK, so after an extra mnt_drop_write() call, it would be impossible to remount mqueue FS as read-only. Besides, on umount a warning would be printed like this one: ===================================== [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] 3.9.0-rc3 #5 Not tainted ------------------------------------- a.out/12486 is trying to release lock (sb_writers) at: mnt_drop_write+0x1f/0x30 but there are no more locks to release!
