Thomas Gleixner 84393817db x86/mtrr: Prevent CPU hotplug lock recursion
Larry reported a CPU hotplug lock recursion in the MTRR code.

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected

systemd-udevd/153 is trying to acquire lock:
 (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){.+.+.+}, at: [<c030fc26>] stop_machine+0x16/0x30
 
 but task is already holding lock:
  (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){.+.+.+}, at: [<c0234353>] mtrr_add_page+0x83/0x470

....

 cpus_read_lock+0x48/0x90
 stop_machine+0x16/0x30
 mtrr_add_page+0x18b/0x470
 mtrr_add+0x3e/0x70

mtrr_add_page() holds the hotplug rwsem already and calls stop_machine()
which acquires it again.

Call stop_machine_cpuslocked() instead.

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.
