Function orinoco_ioctl_commit() returns 0 (indicates success) when the
call to orinoco_lock() fails. Thus, the return value is inconsistent with
the execution status. It may be better to return "-EBUSY" when the call
to orinoco_lock() fails.

Actually, orinoco_lock will return either -EBUSY or 0 so maybe better to
just do:
err = orinoco_lock(priv, &flags);
if (err < 0)
return err;
