Vasily Gorbik 2f85516a0a s390/topology: avoid firing events before kobjs are created
commit f3122a79a1b0a113d3aea748e0ec26f2cb2889de upstream.

arch_update_cpu_topology is first called from:
kernel_init_freeable->sched_init_smp->sched_init_domains

even before cpus has been registered in:
kernel_init_freeable->do_one_initcall->s390_smp_init

Do not trigger kobject_uevent change events until cpu devices are
actually created. Fixes the following kasan findings:

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
