[Devel] [PATCH vz10] dm: fix SRCU read-lock leak on dm_llseek_hole() early error paths

dm_get_live_table() always takes the io_barrier SRCU read lock (storing
the index in *srcu_idx) and returns the live map. dm_llseek_hole() left
two early-return paths that skipped the matching dm_put_live_table():

	table = dm_get_live_table(md, &srcu_idx);
	if (!table || !dm_table_get_size(table))
		return -ENOTTY;          /* leaks SRCU read lock */
	...
	if (table->num_targets != 1)
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;      /* leaks SRCU read lock */

So a SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA on a dm device with no live table, an empty
table, or more than one target leaked an SRCU reader. A leaked reader
stalls any later synchronize_srcu() (device suspend / table reload) and
unbalances the per-CPU SRCU counter. The remaining error paths already
use "goto out".

Convert the two early returns to the "ret = ...; goto out;" pattern so
they release the lock via the out: label like the rest of the function.
