In iavf_adminq_task(), if kzalloc() fails to allocate the event.msg_buf,
the function will exit without releasing the adapter->crit_lock.
This is unlikely, but if it happens, the next access to that mutex will
deadlock.
Fix this by moving the unlock to the end of the function, and adding a new
label to allow jumping to the unlock portion of the function exit flow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
