From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior cpufreq holds get_online_cpus() while invoking cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls() to make subsys_interface_register() and the registration of hotplug calls atomic versus cpu hotplug. cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls() invokes get_online_cpus() as well. This is correct, but prevents the conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem. Use cpuhp_setup/remove_state_nocalls_cpuslocked() to avoid the nested call.
