Explicitly set 'rc' (return code), before jumping to the unlock and return path.
By not having any code depend on that 'rc' remains at it's initial value of -EINVAL, then we can re-use 'rc' for the return code of function calls in subsequent patches.
Only compile tested.
Only compile tested, and is a preparation for something we won't do in stable. Does not fix a bug, please drop.
Please see the original thread about this series[1], this patch is a requirement for two of the next patches, which does fix a few bugs with overruled error codes returned to user space.
I was originally going to ignore these AUTOSEL mails, since the whole series was already added to the queued more than 24 hours earlier[2]. In the queue Sasha has also added "Stable-dep-of:'.
So the weird thing is that AUTOSEL selected this patch, given that it was already in the queue.
