Andrei Vagin 4d99f6602c net: allow to call netif_reset_xps_queues() under cpus_read_lock
The definition of static_key_slow_inc() has cpus_read_lock in place. In the
virtio_net driver, XPS queues are initialized after setting the queue:cpu
affinity in virtnet_set_affinity() which is already protected within
cpus_read_lock. Lockdep prints a warning when we are trying to acquire
cpus_read_lock when it is already held.

This patch adds an ability to call __netif_set_xps_queue under
cpus_read_lock().

swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
00000000cf973d46 (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at: init_vqs+0x513/0x5a0

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

  lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
  lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
