commit 66cb54bd24086b2d871a03035de9b0e79b2b725e upstream.

If is_main_vif(ar, vif) reports that we have to fall back
to software encryption, we goto err_softw; before locking ar->mutex.
As a result, we have unprotected call to carl9170_set_operating_mode
and unmatched mutex_unlock.

The patch fix the issue by adding mutex_lock before goto.
