[PATCH 5.4 113/344] padata: always acquire cpu_hotplug_lock before pinst->lock

[ Upstream commit 38228e8848cd7dd86ccb90406af32de0cad24be3 ]

lockdep complains when padata's paths to update cpumasks via CPU hotplug
and sysfs are both taken:

# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo ff > /sys/kernel/pcrypt/pencrypt/parallel_cpumask

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.4.0-rc8-padata-cpuhp-v3+ #1 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
bash/205 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8286bcd0 (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at: padata_set_cpumask+0x2b/0x120

but task is already holding lock:
ffff8880001abfa0 (&pinst->lock){+.+.}, at: padata_set_cpumask+0x26/0x120

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")
