Not related to your code, but whoever wrote this code originally deserves
a big slap in the face for writing such obsfucated code.  This should be
something like:

 	mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex);
 	set = inode->i_private;
	if (!set) {
 		set = kmalloc(sizeof(struct sysfs_buffer_collection),
				GFP_KERNEL))) {
		if (!set)
			mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex);
 			error = -ENOMEM;
 			goto Done;
 		}
		INIT_LIST_HEAD(&set->associates);
		inode->i_private = set;
	}
	mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex);
