usb: typec: tcpm: Fix AB BA lock inversion between tcpm code and the alt-mode drivers
When we receive a PD data packet which ends up being for the alt-mode
driver we have the following lock order:
1. tcpm_pd_rx_handler take the tcpm-port lock
2. We call into the alt-mode driver which takes the alt-mode's lock
And when the alt-mode driver initiates communication we have the following
lock order:
3. alt-mode driver takes the alt-mode's lock
4. alt-mode driver calls tcpm_altmode_enter which takes the tcpm-port lock
This is a classic AB BA lock inversion issue.
With the refactoring of tcpm_handle_vdm_request() done before this patch,
we don't rely on, or need to make changes to the tcpm-port data by the
time we make call 2. from above. All data to be passed to the alt-mode
driver sits on our stack at this point, and thus does not need locking.
So after the refactoring we can simply fix this by releasing the
tcpm-port lock before calling into the alt-mode driver.
This fixes the following lockdep warning:
