commit dc1771f718548f7d4b93991b174c6e7b5e1ba410 upstream. This reverts commit c0a40097f0bc81deafc15f9195d1fb54595cd6d0. Probing a device can take arbitrary long time. In the field we observed that, for example, probing a bad micro-SD cards in an external USB card reader (or maybe cards were good but cables were flaky) sometimes takes longer than 2 minutes due to multiple retries at various levels of the stack. We can not block uevent_show() method for that long because udev is reading that attribute very often and that blocks udev and interferes with booting of the system. The change that introduced locking was concerned with dev_uevent() racing with unbinding the driver. However we can handle it without locking (which will be done in subsequent patch). There was also claim that synchronization with probe() is needed to properly load USB drivers, however this is a red herring: the change adding the lock was introduced in May of last year and USB loading and probing worked properly for many years before that. Revert the harmful locking.

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.
