This seems to be causing a deadlock at boot time during the ending
stages of boot:

http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17085291/

It took a while to git bisect on linux-next.

Seems like you introduced new locking at the sysfs layer which causes
this deadlock as the underlying code again tries to acquire the same
tz->lock.

I confirm reverting this patch helps me boot on linux-next. This patch 
can be dropped as the lower layer functions are already acquiring tz->lock.

Thanks Vignesh for reporting the deadlock.

Keerthy
