Mika Westerberg 09f11b6c99 thunderbolt: Take domain lock in switch sysfs attribute callbacks
switch_lock was introduced because it allowed serialization of device
authorization requests from userspace without need to take the big
domain lock (tb->lock). This was fine because device authorization with
ICM is just one command that is sent to the firmware. Now that we start
to handle all tunneling in the driver switch_lock is not enough because
we need to walk over the topology to establish paths.

For this reason drop switch_lock from the driver completely in favour of
big domain lock.

There is one complication, though. If userspace is waiting for the lock
in tb_switch_set_authorized(), it keeps the device_del() from removing
the sysfs attribute because it waits for active users to release the
attribute first which leads into following splat:

    INFO: task kworker/u8:3:73 blocked for more than 61 seconds.

We deal this by following what network stack did for some of their
attributes and use mutex_trylock() with restart_syscall(). This makes
userspace release the attribute allowing sysfs attribute removal to
progress before the write is restarted and eventually fail when the
attribute is removed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
