Qian Cai 8ee6a0f254 arm64/smp: Move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier
[ Upstream commit ce3d31ad3c ]

The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in secondary_start_kernel() is not early
enough in the CPU-hotplug onlining process, which results in lockdep
splats as follows:

 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 -----------------------------
 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3497 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
 rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
 no locks held by swapper/1/0.

 Call trace:
  dump_backtrace+0x0/0x3c8
  show_stack+0x14/0x60
  dump_stack+0x14c/0x1c4

  __cpuinfo_store_cpu+0x71c/0x868
  cpuinfo_store_cpu+0x2c/0xc8
  secondary_start_kernel+0x244/0x318

This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near the
beginning of the secondary_start_kernel() function.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
