[PATCH rcu 06/12] locking/csd_lock: Change csdlock_debug from early_param to __setup

From: Paul E. McKenney

From: Chen Zhongjin <chenzhongjin@xxxxxxxxxx>

The csdlock_debug kernel-boot parameter is parsed by the
early_param() function csdlock_debug(). If set, csdlock_debug()
invokes static_branch_enable() to enable csd_lock_wait feature, which
triggers a panic on arm64 for kernels built with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n.

With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n, __nr_to_section is called in
static_key_enable() and returns NULL, resulting in a NULL dereference
because mem_section is initialized only later in sparse_init().

This is also a problem for powerpc because early_param() functions
are invoked earlier than jump_label_init(), also resulting in
static_key_enable() failures. These failures cause the warning "static
key 'xxx' used before call to jump_label_init()".

Thus, early_param is too early for csd_lock_wait to run
static_branch_enable(), so changes it to __setup to fix these.
