[PATCH] Remove unneeded unlock in ipc/sem.c

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>

sem_revalidate checks that a semaphore array didn't disappear while the
code was running without the semaphore array spinlock.  If the array
disappeared, then it will return without holding a lock.  find_undo calls
sem_revalidate and then sem_unlock, even if sem_revalidate failed.  The
sem_unlock call must be removed.

Mingming Cao reported a spinlock deadlock with sysv semaphores.  A
superflous unlock doesn't explain the deadlock, but it's obviously a bug.
