Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RISC-V: fix taking the text_mutex twice during sifive errata patching

Chris pointed out that some bonehead cough me cough added two mutex_locks() to the SiFive errata patching. The second was meant to have been a mutex_unlock().

This results in errors such as
