    Hello,

    when copy-to-user and alikes does fail
    for the solaris personality on sparc64
    did fail then it is possible that the
    current function gets left with an error
    without prior releasing the uts-semphore.

    the attached diff provides a patch that
    is supposed to fixe that behaviour.
    i was not able to test test this in the wild
    due to lack of the respective hardware, so
    any reports from machine owners would be nice.

    -Alex.
