In llog_cat_new_log(), sparse emits a context imbalance (unexpected
lock)
warning due its inability to detect the noreturn attribute in
lbug_with_lock() function inside LBUG macro. With this patch, we unlock
the spinlock before checking the error condition to resolve this warning.
That's a bug in sparse, not in the code, please don't work around tool
bugs by changing kernel code.
thanks,
