[ Upstream commit 4f7e7236435ca0abe005c674ebd6892c6e83aeb3 ]
Bringing up a CPU may involve creating and destroying tasks which requires
read-locking threadgroup_rwsem, so threadgroup_rwsem nests inside
cpus_read_lock(). However, cpuset's ->attach(), which may be called with
thredagroup_rwsem write-locked, also wants to disable CPU hotplug and
acquires cpus_read_lock(), leading to a deadlock.
Fix it by guaranteeing that ->attach() is always called with CPU hotplug
disabled and removing cpus_read_lock() call from cpuset_attach().

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.
