[POWERPC] spufs: fix deadlock in spu_create error path
spufs_rmdir tries to acquire the spufs root i_mutex, which is already held by spufs_create_thread. This was tracked as Bug #H9512. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
