Subject: [PATCH 4.19 039/110] PM / Domains: Avoid a potential deadlock

[ Upstream commit 2071ac985d37efe496782c34318dbead93beb02f ]

Lockdep warns that prepare_lock and genpd->mlock can cause a deadlock
the deadlock scenario is like following:
First thread is probing cs2000
cs2000_probe()
  clk_register()
    __clk_core_init()
      clk_prepare_lock()                            ----> acquires prepare_lock
        cs2000_recalc_rate()
          i2c_smbus_read_byte_data()
            rcar_i2c_master_xfer()
              dma_request_chan()
                rcar_dmac_of_xlate()
                  rcar_dmac_alloc_chan_resources()
                    pm_runtime_get_sync()
                      __pm_runtime_resume()
                        rpm_resume()
                          rpm_callback()
                            genpd_runtime_resume()   ----> acquires genpd->mlock

Second thread is attaching any device to the same PM domain
genpd_add_device()
  genpd_lock()                                       ----> acquires genpd->mlock
    cpg_mssr_attach_dev()
      of_clk_get_from_provider()
        __of_clk_get_from_provider()
          __clk_create_clk()
            clk_prepare_lock()                       ----> acquires prepare_lock

Since currently no PM provider access genpd's critical section
in .attach_dev, and .detach_dev callbacks, so there is no need to protect
these two callbacks with genpd->mlock.
This patch avoids a potential deadlock by moving out .attach_dev and .detach_dev
from genpd->mlock, so that genpd->mlock won't be held when prepare_lock is acquired
in .attach_dev and .detach_dev
