The following circular locking dependency was reported when running
cpus online/offline test on an arm64 system.
[ 84.195923] Chain exists of:
dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock --> cpu_hotplug_lock --> cpuhp_state-down
[ 84.207305] Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[ 84.213212] CPU0 CPU1
[ 84.217729] ---- ----
[ 84.222247] lock(cpuhp_state-down);
[ 84.225899] lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
[ 84.232068] lock(cpuhp_state-down);
[ 84.238237] lock(dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock);
[ 84.242236]
*** DEADLOCK ***
The following locking order happens when dmc620_pmu_get_irq() calls
cpuhp_state_add_instance_nocalls().
lock(dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock) --> lock(cpu_hotplug_lock)
On the other hand, the calling sequence
cpuhp_thread_fun()
=> cpuhp_invoke_callback()
=> dmc620_pmu_cpu_teardown()
leads to the locking sequence
lock(cpuhp_state-down) => lock(dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock)
Here dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock protects both the dmc620_pmu_irqs and the
pmus_node lists in various dmc620_pmu instances. dmc620_pmu_get_irq()
requires protected access to dmc620_pmu_irqs whereas
dmc620_pmu_cpu_teardown() needs protection to the pmus_node lists.
Break this circular locking dependency by using two separate locks to
protect dmc620_pmu_irqs list and the pmus_node lists respectively.
