[PATCH v4 07/32] hold_lock_file_for_append(): release lock on errors

From: Michael Haggerty <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:02:27
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

If there is an error copying the old contents to the lockfile, roll
back the lockfile before exiting so that the lockfile is not held
until process cleanup.
