Subject: [PATCH 4.19 11/13] driver core: Fix locking bug in deferred_probe_timeout_work_func()

From: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@...gle.com>

commit eed6e41813deb9ee622cd9242341f21430d7789f upstream.

list_for_each_entry_safe() is only useful if we are deleting nodes in a
linked list within the loop. It doesn't protect against other threads
adding/deleting nodes to the list in parallel. We need to grab
deferred_probe_mutex when traversing the deferred_probe_pending_list.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: 25b4e70dcce9 ("driver core: allow stopping deferred probe after init")
