[PATCH] clocksource/arm_arch_timer: fix a lockdep warning

From: Qian Cai
Date: Mon Dec 03 2018 - 14:35:20 EST


Booting this Huawei TaiShan 2280 arm64 server generated this lockdep
warning.

This is due to the commit cb538267ea1e ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold
the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations"). Therefore, it will check
if it is really in the CPU hotplug path or not, and work around this
problem by using cpus_read_trylock(). The chance of not getting the read
lock is very small. If that happens, it will report a lockdep warning at
most.
