[patch 11/20] ARM/hw_breakpoint: Use cpuhp_setup_state_locked()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy at linutronix.de>

arch_hw_breakpoint_init() holds get_online_cpus() while registerring the
hotplug callbacks.

cpuhp_setup_state() invokes get_online_cpus() as well. This is correct, but
prevents the conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem.

Use cpuhp_setup_state_locked() to avoid the nested call.
