mm/memory_hotplug: fix remove_memory() lockdep splat

commit f1037ec0 upstream.

The daxctl unit test for the dax_kmem driver currently triggers the
(false positive) lockdep splat below.  It results from the fact that
remove_memory_block_devices() is invoked under the mem_hotplug_lock()
causing lockdep entanglements with cpu_hotplug_lock() and sysfs (kernfs
active state tracking).  It is a false positive because the sysfs
attribute path triggering the memory remove is not the same attribute
path associated with memory-block device.

sysfs_break_active_protection() is not applicable since there is no real
deadlock conflict, instead move memory-block device removal outside the
lock.  The mem_hotplug_lock() is not needed to synchronize the
memory-block device removal vs the page online state, that is already
handled by lock_device_hotplug().  Specifically, lock_device_hotplug()
is sufficient to allow try_remove_memory() to check the offline state of
the memblocks and be assured that any in progress online attempts are
flushed / blocked by kernfs_drain() / attribute removal.

The add_memory() path safely creates memblock devices under the
mem_hotplug_lock().  There is no kernfs active state synchronization in
the memblock device_register() path, so nothing to fix there.

This change is only possible thanks to the recent change that refactored
memory block device removal out of arch_remove_memory() (commit
4c4b7f9b "mm/memory_hotplug: remove memory block devices before
arch_remove_memory()"), and David's due diligence tracking down the
guarantees afforded by kernfs_drain().  Not flagged for -stable since
this only impacts ongoing development and lockdep validation, not a
runtime issue.

    other info that might help us debug this:

    Chain exists of:
      kn->count#241 --> cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem --> mem_hotplug_lock.rw_sem

     Possible unsafe locking scenario:

           CPU0                    CPU1
           ----                    ----
      lock(mem_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
                                   lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
                                   lock(mem_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
      lock(kn->count#241);

     *** DEADLOCK ***

No fixes tag as this has been a long standing issue that predated the
addition of kernfs lockdep annotations.
