From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email protected]> If intel_snb_check_microcode() is invoked via microcode_init -> perf_check_microcode -> intel_snb_check_microcode
then get_online_cpus() is invoked nested. This works with the current implementation of get_online_cpus() but prevents converting it to a percpu rwsem. intel_snb_check_microcode() is also invoked from intel_sandybridge_quirk() unprotected. Drop get_online_cpus() from intel_snb_check_microcode() and add it to intel_sandybridge_quirk() so both call sites are protected. Convert *_online_cpus() to the new interfaces while at it.
