Daniel Jordan 1b0df11fde padata: fix possible padata_works_lock deadlock
syzbot reports,

  WARNING: inconsistent lock state
  5.9.0-rc2-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
  --------------------------------
  inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage.
  syz-executor.0/26715 takes:
  (padata_works_lock){+.?.}-{2:2}, at: padata_do_parallel kernel/padata.c:220
  {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} state was registered at:
    spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:354 [inline]
    padata_do_parallel kernel/padata.c:220
    ...
    __do_softirq kernel/softirq.c:298
    ...
    sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:1091
    asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:581

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0
         ----
    lock(padata_works_lock);
    <Interrupt>
      lock(padata_works_lock);

padata_do_parallel() takes padata_works_lock with softirqs enabled, so a
deadlock is possible if, on the same CPU, the lock is acquired in
process context and then softirq handling done in an interrupt leads to
the same path.

Fix by leaving softirqs disabled while do_parallel holds
padata_works_lock.

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.
