s390/smp: fix CPU hotplug deadlock with CPU rescan
smp_rescan_cpus() is called without the device_hotplug_lock, which can lead
to a dedlock when a new CPU is found and immediately set online by a udev
rule.
This was observed on an older kernel version, where the cpu_hotplug_begin()
loop was still present, and it resulted in hanging chcpu and systemd-udev
processes. This specific deadlock will not show on current kernels. However,
there may be other possible deadlocks, and since smp_rescan_cpus() can still
trigger a CPU hotplug operation, the device_hotplug_lock should be held.
For reference, this was the deadlock with the old cpu_hotplug_begin() loop:
chcpu (rescan) systemd-udevd
echo 1 > /sys/../rescan
-> smp_rescan_cpus()
-> (*) get_online_cpus()
(increases refcount)
-> smp_add_present_cpu()
(new CPU found)
-> register_cpu()
-> device_add()
-> udev "add" event triggered -----------> udev rule sets CPU online
-> echo 1 > /sys/.../online
-> lock_device_hotplug_sysfs()
(this is missing in rescan path)
-> device_online()
-> (**) device_lock(new CPU dev)
-> cpu_up()
-> cpu_hotplug_begin()
(loops until refcount == 0)
-> deadlock with (*)
-> bus_probe_device()
-> device_attach()
-> device_lock(new CPU dev)
-> deadlock with (**)
Fix this by taking the device_hotplug_lock in the CPU rescan path.
