percpu: remove spurious lock dependency between percpu and sched

[ Upstream commit 198790d9 ]

In free_percpu() we sometimes call pcpu_schedule_balance_work() to
queue a work item (which does a wakeup) while holding pcpu_lock.
This creates an unnecessary lock dependency between pcpu_lock and
the scheduler's pi_lock.  There are other places where we call
pcpu_schedule_balance_work() without hold pcpu_lock, and this case
doesn't need to be different.

Moving the call outside the lock prevents the following lockdep splat
when running tools/testing/selftests/bpf/{test_maps,test_progs} in
sequence with lockdep enabled:

but task is already holding lock:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &(&pool->lock)->rlock --> &htab->buckets[i].lock --> pcpu_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(pcpu_lock);
                               lock(&htab->buckets[i].lock);
                               lock(pcpu_lock);
  lock(&(&pool->lock)->rlock);
