mei: amthif: fix deadlock in initialization during a reset
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") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 4.6+ Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
