Subject[PATCH v2 3/4] jump_label: Provide hotplug context variants
Date
As using the normal static key API under the hotplug lock is
pretty much impossible, let's provide a variant of some of them
that require the hotplug lock to have already been taken.

These function are only meant to be used in CPU hotplug callbacks.

key is initialized false, a 'static_branch_inc()', will change the branch to
true. And then a 'static_branch_dec()', will again make the branch false.

+Note that switching branches results in some locks being taken,
+particularly the CPU hotplug lock (in order to avoid races against
+CPUs being brought in the kernel whilst the kernel is getting
+patched). Calling the static key API from within a hotplug notifier is
+thus a sure deadlock recipe. In order to still allow use of the
+functionnality, the following functions are provided:
+
+ static_key_enable_cpuslocked()
+ static_key_disable_cpuslocked()
+ static_branch_enable_cpuslocked()
+ static_branch_disable_cpuslocked()
+
+These functions are *not* general purpose, and must only be used when
+you really know that you're in the above context, and no other.

Where an array of keys is required, it can be defined as::
