[patch V3 27/32] arm: Prevent hotplug rwsem recursion

From: Thomas Gleixner <hidden>
Date: 2017-05-24 08:28:40
Also in: lkml

The text patching functions which are invoked from jump_label and kprobes
code are protected against cpu hotplug at the call sites.

Use stop_machine_cpuslocked() to avoid recursion on the cpu hotplug
rwsem. stop_machine_cpuslocked() contains a lockdep assertion to catch any
unprotected callers.
