If the the li_request_list was empty then it returned with the lock
held.  Instead of adding a "goto unlock" I just removed that special
case and let it go past the empty list_for_each_safe().

Nice catch.  Thanks, I've grabbed this and put it into the ext4 patch
queue and will be pushing it to Linus ASAP.
