[PATCH v2] crypto: pcrypt: Fix possible deadlock in padata_sysfs_release

From: Kefeng Wang
Date: Sat Jun 01 2019 - 05:22:38 EST


There is a deadlock issue in pcrypt_init_padata(),

pcrypt_init_padata()
cpus_read_lock()
padata_free()
padata_sysfs_release()
cpus_read_lock()

Narrow rcu_read_lock/unlock() and move put_online_cpus()
before padata_free() to fix it.
