The ETMv4 code calls into the hotplug API twice - so takes the lock
and makes both calls while holding the lock - using the "_cpuslocked"
call variant to render the pair of calls atomic from the CPUHP context
point of view.
CTI only calls once so does not really need to take the locks and
could simply use the normal variant.
In both cases the cpuhp_remove_state uses the normal variant, which
takes the locks inside the api call. For the CTI there is certainly a
case for simplification, i..e drop the "_cpuslocked" variant and
remove the explicit taking of the locks.
Something along the lines of....
...
if (nr_cti_cpu)
goto done;
ret = cpu_pm_register_notifier(&cti_cpu_pm_nb);
if (ret)
return ret;
ret = cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(......);
if (ret) {
cpu_pm_unregister_notifier(....);
return ret;
}
done:
....
