dvdnav needs to drop locks when it fails

Description

In libmythdvdnav, in the files dvdnav.c and searching.c there are a few error conditions where the thread lock is not dropped even though the function is going down the fail code path.

Since it is likely that the program will bow out in these paths, it isn't a big deal. But it is a good idea to give up any locks you might have when you don't need them.
