Subject: Revert "once: don't use a work queue to reset sleepable static key"

This reverts commit e8eef69a99f185e75909adb24ab93d706e07bf27.

While DO_ONCE_SLEEPABLE() is used from sleepable/process context, callers
may still be holding arbitrary subsystem locks.

For instance, __inet_hash_connect() uses get_random_sleepable_once() which
invokes DO_ONCE_SLEEPABLE() while holding the socket lock (sk_lock):

  lock_sock(sk)
    __inet_hash_connect()
      get_random_sleepable_once()
        DO_ONCE_SLEEPABLE()
          __do_once_sleepable_done()
            static_branch_disable()
              static_key_disable()
                cpus_read_lock()

Calling static_branch_disable() directly from __do_once_sleepable_done()
causes static_key_disable() to synchronously acquire cpus_read_lock()
(cpu_hotplug_lock) and jump_label_mutex inside the caller's lock context.

This introduces an unwanted lockdep dependency:
  sk_lock -> cpu_hotplug_lock

Because cpu_hotplug_lock depends on fs_reclaim (via workqueue CPU bringup
allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL), and storage/block layers (such as
NVMe-TCP) acquire sk_lock during I/O dispatch, lockdep reports circular
locking dependencies:

  set->srcu -> sk_lock -> cpu_hotplug_lock -> fs_reclaim -> q_usage_counter -> elevator_lock -> set->srcu

This false positive previously prompted commit 19bdb70c77d3 ("nvme-tcp:
lockdep: use dynamic lockdep keys per socket instance") to work around the
warning using per-socket dynamic keys in NVMe-TCP.  That in turn broke
asynchronous socket teardown and caused syzbot warnings in
tcp_tsq_handler().

Restoring once_disable_jump() in __do_once_sleepable_done() ensures that
static_branch_disable() is executed asynchronously from a system workqueue
without holding the caller's locks.
