2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Dean Nelson <dnel...@redhat.com>
commit 44e2aa937e698ea95dd86b2a4fabd734ef2c76db upstream.
Add missing spin_lock() of the page_table_lock before an error return in
hugetlb_cow(). Callers of hugtelb_cow() expect it to be held upon return.
