Well "holding a lock while adding/removing sysfs files and holding the
same lock from sysfs read/write callbacks" is a classic deadlock. I've
made lockdep shut up about it, I have no idea how to fix it properly.
kernfs switching it's locking doesn't change anything here.
Generally the fix is to untangle the locking: You need 1 set of locks
to protect the datastructures exposed through sysfs, and another thing
(maybe that's provided by serio already, I have no idea) to make sure
you're ordering connect/disconnect handling correct and there's not
concurrent calls to this hooks. Assuming serio does give that
guarantee then there's no need to hold the lock while unregistering
the sysfs files (we could perhaps push the lock dropping down into
trackpoint_disconnect, but that's less maintainable imo since it's not
obvious in psmouse_disconnect what's going on), and my patch is
correct.
But I didn't do a full locking audit of what exactly serio guarantees,
and what exactly psmouse_mutex needs to protect (and where
psmouse_mutex is only held because it's convenient).
