      clocksource: Protect the watchdog rating changes with clocksource_mutex · d0981a1b
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      Martin pointed out that commit 6ea41d2529 (clocksource: Call
      clocksource_change_rating() outside of watchdog_lock) has a
      theoretical reference count problem. The calls to
      clocksource_change_rating() are now done outside of the clocksource
      mutex and outside of the watchdog lock. A concurrent
      clocksource_unregister() could remove the clock.
      
      Split out the code which changes the rating from
      clocksource_change_rating() into __clocksource_change_rating().
      
      Protect the clocksource_watchdog_work() code sequence with the
      clocksource_mutex() and call __clocksource_change_rating().
