[PATCH 4.0 50/60] pinctrl: Dont just pretend to protect pinctrl_maps, do it for real

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Doug Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c5272a28566b00cce79127ad382406e0a8650690 upstream.

Way back, when the world was a simpler place and there was no war, no
evil, and no kernel bugs, there was just a single pinctrl lock.  That
was how the world was when (57291ce pinctrl: core device tree mapping
table parsing support) was written.  In that case, there were
instances where the pinctrl mutex was already held when
pinctrl_register_map() was called, hence a "locked" parameter was
passed to the function to indicate that the mutex was already locked
(so we shouldn't lock it again).

A few years ago in (42fed7b pinctrl: move subsystem mutex to
pinctrl_dev struct), we switched to a separate pinctrl_maps_mutex.
...but (oops) we forgot to re-think about the whole "locked" parameter
for pinctrl_register_map().  Basically the "locked" parameter appears
to still refer to whether the bigger pinctrl_dev mutex is locked, but
we're using it to skip locks of our (now separate) pinctrl_maps_mutex.

That's kind of a bad thing(TM).  Probably nobody noticed because most
of the calls to pinctrl_register_map happen at boot time and we've got
synchronous device probing.  ...and even cases where we're
asynchronous don't end up actually hitting the race too often.  ...but
after banging my head against the wall for a bug that reproduced 1 out
of 1000 reboots and lots of looking through kgdb, I finally noticed
this.

Anyway, we can now safely remove the "locked" parameter and go back to
a war-free, evil-free, and kernel-bug-free world.
