WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.3.0-rc5-padata-base+ #6 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
bash/258 is trying to acquire lock:
00000000c43f7f29 (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at:
padata_set_cpumask+0x30/0x130
but task is already holding lock:
00000000676aa31d (&pinst->lock){+.+.}, at: padata_set_cpumask+0x2b/0x130
which lock already depends on the new lock.
padata doesn't take cpu_hotplug_lock and pinst->lock in a consistent
order. Which should be first? CPU hotplug calls into padata with
cpu_hotplug_lock already held, so it should have priority.
Fixes: 6751fb3c0e0c ("padata: Use get_online_cpus/put_online_cpus")
