jffs2: fix unbalanced locking
Li Zefan reported an unbalanced locking issue, found by his internal debugging feature on runtime. The particular case he was looking at doesn't lead to a deadlock, as the structure that this lock is embedded in is freed on error. But we should straighten out the error handling. Because several callers of jffs2_do_read_inode_internal() / jffs2_do_read_inode() already handle the locking/unlocking and inode clearing at their own level, let's just push any unlocks/clearing down to the caller. This consistency is much easier to verify.
