jump_label: Reorder hotplug lock and jump_label_lock
The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed lock
ordering issues all over the place.
The jump_label code has two issues:
1) Nested get_online_cpus() invocations
2) Ordering problems vs. the cpus rwsem and the jump_label_mutex
To cure these, the following lock order has been established;
cpus_rwsem -> jump_label_lock -> text_mutex
Even if not all architectures need protection against CPU hotplug, taking
cpus_rwsem before jump_label_lock is now mandatory in code pathes which
actually modify code and therefor need text_mutex protection.
Move the get_online_cpus() invocations into the core jump label code and
establish the proper lock order where required.
