[PATCH] fix possible jffs2 deadlock (sync with mtd cvs)

Hi,

the attached patch fixes a possible deadlock in the jffs2 garbage collection.
At the end of garbage_collect_pass() there are two error checks, each followed by a return. In these both cases releasing the alloc_sem semaphore was missing.
The patch fixes this and syncs gc.c with the version from mtd cvs.
Please apply.

Another question:

The file jffs2/..../fs-ecos.c contains a check for gcc 3.2.x and ARM_ARCH_4 -> #error This compiler is known to be broken

Does this also apply for ARM_ARCH_5 ?
It compiles here with -mcpu=xscale and gcc 3.2.1 ...

Bye
Alex
