4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@xxxxxxxxx>
commit e728ae271f4cf71218ec06a6daf61b79466cb466 upstream.
The device lock was unnecessary obtained in bus rescan work before the
amthif client search. That causes incorrect lock ordering and task
hang:
...
[88004.613213] INFO: task kworker/1:14:21832 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
...
[88004.645934] Workqueue: events mei_cl_bus_rescan_work
...
The correct lock order is
cl_bus_lock
device_lock
me_clients_rwsem
Move device_lock into amthif init function that called
after me_clients_rwsem is released.
This fixes regression introduced by commit:
commit 025fb792bac3 ("mei: split amthif client init from end of clients enumeration")
