From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior arch_hw_breakpoint_init() holds get_online_cpus() while registerring the hotplug callbacks. cpuhp_setup_state() invokes get_online_cpus() as well. This is correct, but prevents the conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem. Use cpuhp_setup_state_locked() to avoid the nested call.
