Subject: [PATCH v3] perf/arm-dmc620: Fix dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock/cpu_hotplug_lock circular lock dependency

The following circular locking dependency was reported when running
cpus online/offline test on an arm64 system.

[   84.195923] Chain exists of:
                 dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock --> cpu_hotplug_lock --> cpuhp_state-down

[   84.207305]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

[   84.213212]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   84.217729]        ----                    ----
[   84.222247]   lock(cpuhp_state-down);
[   84.225899]                                lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
[   84.232068]                                lock(cpuhp_state-down);
[   84.238237]   lock(dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock);
[   84.242236]
                *** DEADLOCK ***

The problematic locking order seems to be

	lock(dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock) --> lock(cpu_hotplug_lock)

This locking order happens when dmc620_pmu_get_irq() is called from
dmc620_pmu_device_probe(). Since dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock is used for
protecting the dmc620_pmu_irqs structure only, we don't actually need
to hold the lock when adding a new instance to the CPU hotplug subsystem.

Fix this possible deadlock scenario by releasing the lock before
calling cpuhp_state_add_instance_nocalls() and reacquiring it afterward.
To avoid the possibility of 2 racing dmc620_pmu_get_irq() calls inserting
duplicated dmc620_pmu_irq structures with the same irq number, a dummy
entry is inserted before releasing the lock which will block a competing
thread from inserting another irq structure of the same irq number.
