Suzuki K Poulose c48fb3bbe9 coresight: perf: Avoid unncessary CPU hotplug read lock
We hold the read lock on CPU hotplug to simply copy the
online mask, which is not really needed. And this can
cause a lockdep warning, like :

Since we have per-cpu array for the paths, we simply don't care about
the number of online CPUs. This patch gets rid of the
{get/put}_online_cpus().

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
