Subject: mm/frame_vector.c: release a semaphore in 'get_vaddr_frames()'

From: Christophe JAILLET <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 1f704fd0d14043e76e80f6b8b2251b9b2cedcca6 ]

A semaphore is acquired before this check, so we must release it before leaving.

Fixes b7f0554a56f2 ("mm: fail get_vaddr_frames() for filesystem-dax mappings")
