Peter Zijlstra efe951d3de perf/x86: Fix perf,x86,cpuhp deadlock
More lockdep gifts, a 5-way lockup race:

	perf_event_create_kernel_counter()
	  perf_event_alloc()
	    perf_try_init_event()
	      x86_pmu_event_init()
		__x86_pmu_event_init()
		  x86_reserve_hardware()
 #0		    mutex_lock(&pmc_reserve_mutex);
		    reserve_ds_buffer()
 #1		      get_online_cpus()

	perf_event_release_kernel()
	  _free_event()
	    hw_perf_event_destroy()
	      x86_release_hardware()
 #0		mutex_lock(&pmc_reserve_mutex)
		release_ds_buffer()
 #1		  get_online_cpus()

 #1	do_cpu_up()
	  perf_event_init_cpu()
 #2	    mutex_lock(&pmus_lock)
 #3	    mutex_lock(&ctx->mutex)

	sys_perf_event_open()
	  mutex_lock_double()
 #3	    mutex_lock(ctx->mutex)
 #4	    mutex_lock_nested(ctx->mutex, 1);

	perf_try_init_event()
 #4	  mutex_lock_nested(ctx->mutex, 1)
	  x86_pmu_event_init()
	    intel_pmu_hw_config()
	      x86_add_exclusive()
 #0		mutex_lock(&pmc_reserve_mutex)

Fix it by using ordering constructs instead of locking.

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.
