[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: sst-firmware: Improve unlocking of a mutex in sst_block_alloc_scratch()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>

* Add a jump target so that a call of the function "mutex_unlock" is stored
  only once in this function implementation.

* Replace three calls by goto statements.

* Increase the lock scope.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
