[ Upstream commit 9368d1ee62829b08aa31836b3ca003803caf0b72 ]

Commit a4e772898f8b ("PCI: Add missing bridge lock to pci_bus_lock()")
delegates the bridge device's pci_dev_trylock() to pci_bus_trylock() in
pci_slot_trylock(), but it forgets to remove the corresponding
pci_dev_unlock() when pci_bus_trylock() fails.

Before a4e772898f8b, the code did:

if (!pci_dev_trylock(dev)) /* <- lock bridge device */
goto unlock;
if (dev->subordinate) {
if (!pci_bus_trylock(dev->subordinate)) {
pci_dev_unlock(dev); /* <- unlock bridge device */
goto unlock;
}
}

After a4e772898f8b the bridge-device lock is no longer taken, but the
pci_dev_unlock(dev) on the failure path was left in place, leading to the
bug.

This yields one of two errors:

1. A warning that the lock is being unlocked when no one holds it.
2. An incorrect unlock of a lock that belongs to another thread.

Fix it by removing the now-redundant pci_dev_unlock(dev) on the failure
path.
