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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
