Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] jump_label: Provide hotplug context variants

As using the normal static key API under the hotplug lock is
pretty much impossible, let's provide a variant of some of them
that require the hotplug lock to have already been taken.

These function are only meant to be used in CPU hotplug callbacks.

 true. And then a 'static_branch_dec()', will again make the branch false.
 
+Note that switching branches results in some locks being taken,
+particularly the CPU hotplug lock (in order to avoid races against
+CPUs being brought in the kernel whilst the kernel is getting
+patched). Calling the static key API from within a hotplug notifier is
+thus a sure deadlock recipe. In order to still allow use of the
+functionnality, the following functions are provided:
+
+	static_key_enable_cpuslocked()
+	static_key_disable_cpuslocked()
+	static_branch_enable_cpuslocked()
+	static_branch_disable_cpuslocked()
+
+These functions are *not* general purpose, and must only be used when
+you really know that you're in the above context, and no other.
+
 Where an array of keys is required, it can be defined as::
 
 	DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_ARRAY_TRUE(keys, count);
