Sebastian Andrzej Siewior c5a81c8ff8 padata: Avoid nested calls to cpus_read_lock() in pcrypt_init_padata() ...

pcrypt_init_padata()
   cpus_read_lock()
   padata_alloc_possible()
     padata_alloc()
       cpus_read_lock()

The nested call to cpus_read_lock() works with the current implementation,
but prevents the conversion to a percpu rwsem.

The other caller of padata_alloc_possible() is pcrypt_init_padata() which
calls from a cpus_read_lock() protected region as well.

Remove the cpus_read_lock() call in padata_alloc() and document the
calling convention.
