[patch V3 31/32] acpi/processor: Prevent cpu hotplug deadlock

From: Thomas Gleixner

With the enhanced CPU hotplug lockdep coverage the following lockdep splat
happens:

======================================================

------------------------------------------------------
cpuhp/1/15 is trying to acquire lock:
flush_work+0x39/0x2f0

but task is already holding lock:
cpuhp_thread_fun+0x30/0x160

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

The problem is that the work is scheduled on the current CPU from the
hotplug thread associated with that CPU.

It's not required to invoke these functions via the workqueue because the
hotplug thread runs on the target CPU already.

Check whether current is a per cpu thread pinned on the target CPU and
invoke the function directly to avoid the workqueue.
