lib/genalloc.c: remove unmatched write_lock() in gen_pool_destroy
There is a call to write_lock() in gen_pool_destroy which is not balanced
by any corresponding write_unlock(). This causes problems with preemption
because the preemption-disable counter is incremented in the write_lock()
call, but never decremented by any call to write_unlock(). This bug is
gen_pool_destroy, and one of them is non-x86 arch-specific code.
