[PATCH] arm, kvm: fix double lock on cpu_add_remove_lock

From: Ming Lei
Date: Sun Apr 06 2014 - 13:36:38 EST


The patch of "arm, kvm: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration"
in -next tree holds the lock before calling the two functions:

kvm_vgic_hyp_init()
kvm_timer_hyp_init()

and both the two functions are calling register_cpu_notifier()
to register cpu notifier, so cause double lock on cpu_add_remove_lock.

Considered that both two functions are only called inside
kvm_arch_init() with holding cpu_add_remove_lock, so simply use
__register_cpu_notifier() to fix the problem.
