mainlining shenanigans
83c4919058
In opal_export_attrs() we dynamically allocate some bin_attributes. They're
allocated with kmalloc() and although we initialise most of the fields, we don't
initialise write() or mmap(), and in particular we don't initialise the lockdep
related fields in the embedded struct attribute.
This leads to a lockdep warning at boot:
BUG: key c0000000f11906d8 not in .data!
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at ../kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3136 lockdep_init_map+0x28c/0x2a0
...
Call Trace:

Fix it by kzalloc'ing the attr, which fixes the uninitialised write() and
mmap(), and calling sysfs_bin_attr_init() on it to initialise the lockdep
fields.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
