[INET_DIAG]: Fix inet_diag_lock_handler error path.
Fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9825 The inet_diag_lock_handler function uses ERR_PTR to encode errors but its callers were testing against NULL. This only happens when the only inet_diag modular user, DCCP, is not built into the kernel or available as a module. Also there was a problem with not dropping the mutex lock when a handler was not found, also fixed in this patch. This caused an OOPS and ss would then hang on subsequent calls, as &inet_diag_table_mutex was being left locked. Thanks to spike at ml.yaroslavl.ru for report it after trying 'ss -d' on a kernel that doesn't have DCCP available. This bug was introduced in cset d523a328fb0271e1a763e985a21f2488fd816e7e ("Fix inet_diag dead-lock regression"), after 2.6.24-rc3, so just 2.6.24 seems to be affected.
