other info that might help us debug this:

[ 237.134867] Chain exists of:
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem --> rdtgroup_mutex --> &type->s_umount_key#37/1

[ 237.148425] Possible unsafe locking scenario:

[ 237.155015] CPU0 CPU1
[ 237.160057] ---- ----
[ 237.165100] lock(&type->s_umount_key#37/1);
[ 237.169952] lock(rdtgroup_mutex);
[ 237.176641]
lock(&type->s_umount_key#37/1);
[ 237.184287] lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
[ 237.189041]
*** DEADLOCK ***

When the resctrl filesystem is mounted the locks must be acquired in the
same order as was done when the cpus came online:

cpu_hotplug_lock before rdtgroup_mutex.

This also requires to switch the static_branch_enable() calls to the
_cpulocked variant because now cpu hotplug lock is held already.

[ tglx: Switched to cpus_read_[un]lock ]
