Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

get_online_cpus();

for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);

register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Interestingly, the raid5 code can actually prevent double initialization and
hence can use the following simplified form of callback registration:

register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

get_online_cpus();

for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);

put_online_cpus();

A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling
get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to
perform the memory allocations only once.

So reorganize the code in raid5 this way to fix the deadlock with callback
registration.
