We need similar locking for updat_cpu_capabilities() called
from setup_cpu_feature_capabilities(). i.e., the following fixup is required.

Also, I think having update_cpu_errata_workarounds() called with and without
the CPU hotplug lock makes it a bit confusing without proper explanation.
How about the following patch which makes things a bit more reader friendly ?

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: cpufeature: use static_branch_enable_cpuslocked()

Recently, the hotplug locking was conveted to use a percpu rwsem. Unlike
the existing {get,put}_online_cpus() logic, this can't nest.
Unfortunately, in arm64's secondary boot path we can end up nesting via
static_branch_enable() in cpus_set_cap() when we detect an erratum.

This leads to a stream of messages as below, where the secondary
attempts to schedule before it has been fully onlined. As the CPU
orchestrating the onlining holds the rswem, this hangs the system.

We call cpus_set_cap() from update_cpu_capabilities(), which is called
from the secondary boot path (where the CPU orchestrating the onlining
holds the hotplug rwsem), and in the primary boot path, where this is
not held.

This patch makes cpus_set_cap() use static_branch_enable_cpuslocked(),
and updates all the callers of update_cpu_capabilities() consistent with
the change.
