Thanks for bringing that up.

I tried reproducing this on my HiKey960, and I do get a BUG pointing at a
static_key_enable but at a completely different place...

I went and had a look at the documentation for the static keys, and it mentions
fun stuff can happen with hotplug. I gave it a try and got this:

This seems to be complaining about holding 'sched_domains_mutex' while
taking the hotplug lock before flipping the static key.

Thing is, both callers of build_sched_domains():

- sched_init_domains()
- partition_sched_domains()

mention that they must be called with the hotplug lock held, so I figured
we could use that information to change the static key call (see snippet
below).

It does suppress the warning, and I *think* it's not completely insane -
assuming the comments about the hotplug lock are still up to date, and with
the exception of sched_init_smp() which doesn't care about hotplugs it seems
to be the case.

SMT also uses a static key but avoids this issue by being enabled outside of
sched_init_domains(), and from what I see it's just set once and for all.
I'm not sure we can use the same approach since we might not always be able
to detect asymmetry this early.
