padata: always acquire cpu_hotplug_lock before pinst->lock
commit 38228e8848cd7dd86ccb90406af32de0cad24be3 upstream. lockdep complains when padata's paths to update cpumasks via CPU hotplug and sysfs are both taken: # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # echo ff > /sys/kernel/pcrypt/pencrypt/parallel_cpumask ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.4.0-rc8-padata-cpuhp-v3+ #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ bash/205 is trying to acquire lock: ffffffff8286bcd0 (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at: padata_set_cpumask+0x2b/0x120 but task is already holding lock: ffff8880001abfa0 (&pinst->lock){+.+.}, at: padata_set_cpumask+0x26/0x120 which lock already depends on the new lock. padata doesn't take cpu_hotplug_lock and pinst->lock in a consistent order. Which should be first? CPU hotplug calls into padata with cpu_hotplug_lock already held, so it should have priority.
