Fix a missed "goto out" to unlock on error to cleanup this splat:
WARNING: lock held when returning to user space!
6.6.0-rc3-lizhijian+ #213 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------
cxl/673 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
1 lock held by cxl/673:
#0: ffffffffa013b9d0 (cxl_region_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: commit_store+0x7d/0x3e0 [cxl_core]
In terms of user visible impact of this bug for backports:
cxl_region_invalidate_memregion() on x86 invokes wbinvd which is a
problematic instruction for virtualized environments. So, on virtualized
x86, cxl_region_invalidate_memregion() returns an error. This failure
case got missed because CXL memory-expander device passthrough is not a
production use case, and emulation of CXL devices is typically limited
to kernel development builds with CONFIG_CXL_REGION_INVALIDATION_TEST=y,
that makes cxl_region_invalidate_memregion() succeed.
In other words, the expected exposure of this bug is limited to CXL
subsystem development environments using QEMU that neglected
CONFIG_CXL_REGION_INVALIDATION_TEST=y.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
