device-dax: fix sysfs attribute deadlock
Usage of device_lock() for dax_region attributes is unnecessary and deadlock prone. It's unnecessary because the order of registration / un-registration guarantees that drvdata is always valid. It's deadlock prone because it sets up this situation: ndctl D 0 2170 2082 0x00000000 Call Trace: __schedule+0x31f/0x980 schedule+0x3d/0x90 schedule_preempt_disabled+0x15/0x20 __mutex_lock+0x402/0x980 ? __mutex_lock+0x158/0x980 ? align_show+0x2b/0x80 [dax] ? kernfs_seq_start+0x2f/0x90 mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20 align_show+0x2b/0x80 [dax] dev_attr_show+0x20/0x50 ndctl D 0 2186 2079 0x00000000 Call Trace: __schedule+0x31f/0x980 schedule+0x3d/0x90 __kernfs_remove+0x1f6/0x340 ? kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x45/0xa0 ? remove_wait_queue+0x70/0x70 kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x45/0xa0 remove_files.isra.1+0x35/0x70 sysfs_remove_group+0x44/0x90 sysfs_remove_groups+0x2e/0x50 dax_region_unregister+0x25/0x40 [dax] devm_action_release+0xf/0x20 release_nodes+0x16d/0x2b0 devres_release_all+0x3c/0x60 device_release_driver_internal+0x17d/0x220 device_release_driver+0x12/0x20 unbind_store+0x112/0x160 ndctl/2170 is trying to acquire the device_lock() to read an attribute, and ndctl/2186 is holding the device_lock() while trying to drain all active attribute readers. Thanks to Yi Zhang for the reproduction script.
