commit bdac616db9bbadb90b7d6a406144571015e138f7 upstream. Commit 2d1d4c1e591f made loop_get_status() drop lo_ctx_mutex before returning, but the loop_get_status_old(), loop_get_status64(), and loop_get_status_compat() wrappers don't call loop_get_status() if the passed argument is NULL. The callers expect that the lock is dropped, so make sure we drop it in that case, too.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
