Subject: [PATCH v2] psi: fix race between psi_trigger_create and psimon

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@...soc.com>

Race detected between psimon_new and psimon_old as shown below, which
cause panic by accessing invalid psi_system->poll_wait->wait_queue_entry
and psi_system->poll_timer->entry->next. It is not necessary to reinit
resource of psi_system when psi_trigger_create.

psi_trigger_create      psimon_new     psimon_old
 init_waitqueue_head                    finish_wait
                                          spin_lock(lock_old)
	spin_lock_init(lock_new)
 wake_up_process(psimon_new)

                        finish_wait
                          spin_lock(lock_new)
                            list_del       list_del
