[PATCH] netpoll: fix netpoll lockup
current -git doesnt boot on my laptop due to netpoll not unlocking the tx lock in the else branch. booted this up on my laptop with lockdep enabled and there are no locking complaints and it works fine. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
