hfsplus: fix BKL leak in hfsplus_ioctl Currenly the HFSPLUS_IOC_EXT2_GETFLAGS case never unlocks the BKL, which can lead to easily reproduced lockups when doing multiple GETFLAGS ioctls. Fix this by only taking the BKL for the HFSPLUS_IOC_EXT2_SETFLAGS case as neither HFSPLUS_IOC_EXT2_GETFLAGS not the default error case needs it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
