From: zhong jiang <zhongji...@huawei.com> commit 37803841c92d7b327147e0b1be3436423189e1cf upstream.
When adding memory by probing a memory block in the sysfs interface, there is an obvious issue where we will unlock the device_hotplug_lock when we failed to takes it. That issue was introduced in 8df1d0e4a265 ("mm/memory_hotplug: make add_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock"). We should drop out in time when failing to take the device_hotplug_lock.
