[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v9 03/39] drivers/base: use a worker for sysfs unbind

[Ramalingam C]

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter at intel.com>

Drivers might want to remove some sysfs files, which needs the same
locks and ends up angering lockdep. Relevant snippet of the stack
trace:

  kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x3b/0x80
  bus_remove_driver+0x92/0xa0
  acpi_video_unregister+0x24/0x40
  i915_driver_unload+0x42/0x130 [i915]
  i915_pci_remove+0x19/0x30 [i915]
  pci_device_remove+0x36/0xb0
  device_release_driver_internal+0x185/0x250
  unbind_store+0xaf/0x180
  kernfs_fop_write+0x104/0x190

I've stumbled over this because some new patches by Ram connect the
snd-hda-intel unload (where we do use sysfs unbind) with the locking
chains in the i915 unload code (but without creating a new loop),
which upset our CI. But the bug is already there and can be easily
reproduced by unbind i915 directly.

No idea whether this is the correct place to fix this, should at least
get CI happy again.

Note that the bus locking is already done by device_release_driver ->
device_release_driver_internal, so I dropped that part. Also note that
we don't recheck that the device is still bound by the same driver,
but neither does the current code do that without races. And I figured
that's a obscure enough corner case to not bother.

v2: Use a task work. An entirely async work leads to impressive
fireworks in our CI, notably in the vtcon bind/unbind code. Task work
will be as synchronous as the current code, and so keep all these
preexisting races neatly tugged under the rug.
