Thanks for your review.
The function cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls_cpuslocked() is commonly used across the kernel
drivers hence it was a first choice for me as well. However, it includes a
cpus_read_lock that we already introduced separately in above code. To avoid recursive
locking, I opted for __cpuhp_setup_state_cpuslocked.
One might argue that unlocking and then calling cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls_cpuslocked
could be a solution, but I am concerned about potential race conditions, as CPUs could
come online during this interval and in such case synic initialization for those CPUs
would be missed.
