[ Upstream commit eabe06595d62cfa9278e2cd012df614bc68a7042 ]

By poking at /debug/sched_features I triggered the following splat:

This is because of the cpu hotplug lock rework. Break the chain at #1
by reversing the lock acquisition order. This way i_mutex_key#4 no
longer depends on cpu_hotplug_lock and things are good.
