Subject: powerpc/pseries: Avoid deadlock on removing ddw
From: Gavin Shan <gwshan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5efbabe09d986f25c02d19954660238fcd7f008a upstream.
Function remove_ddw() could be called in of_reconfig_notifier and
we potentially remove the dynamic DMA window property, which invokes
of_reconfig_notifier again. Eventually, it leads to the deadlock as
following backtrace shows.
The patch fixes the above issue by deferring releasing the dynamic
DMA window property while releasing the device node.

other info that might help us debug this:
