Mauro Carvalho Chehab c508ed236c media: dvb_frontend: fix locking issues at dvb_frontend_get_event()
commit 76d81243a487c09619822ef8e7201a756e58a87d upstream.

As warned by smatch:
	drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c:314 dvb_frontend_get_event() warn: inconsistent returns 'sem:&fepriv->sem'.
	  Locked on:   line 288
	               line 295
	               line 306
	               line 314
	  Unlocked on: line 303

The lock implementation for get event is wrong, as, if an
interrupt occurs, down_interruptible() will fail, and the
routine will call up() twice when userspace calls the ioctl
again.

The bad code is there since when Linux migrated to git, in
2005.

============

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.
