Before this commit, the following would happen:
a) acpi_video_get_backlight_type() gets called
b) acpi_video_get_backlight_type() calls acpi_video_init_backlight_type()
c) acpi_video_init_backlight_type() locks its function static init_mutex
d) acpi_video_init_backlight_type() calls backlight_register_notifier()
e) backlight_register_notifier() takes its notifier-chain lock
And when the backlight notifier chain gets called we've:
1) blocking_notifier_call_chain() gets called
2) blocking_notifier_call_chain() takes the notifier-chain lock
3) blocking_notifier_call_chain() calls acpi_video_backlight_notify()
4) acpi_video_backlight_notify() calls acpi_video_get_backlight_type()
5) acpi_video_get_backlight_type() calls acpi_video_init_backlight_type()
6) acpi_video_init_backlight_type() locks its function static init_mutex
So in the first call sequence we have:
a) init_mutex gets locked
b) notifier-chain gets locked
and in the second call sequence we have:
1) notifier-chain gets locked
2) init_mutex gets locked
And we've a circular locking dependency. This specific locking dependency
is fixable without using the big hammer otherwise known as a workqueue,
but further analysis shows a similar problem with the backlight notifier
chain lock vs register_count_mutex from drivers/acpi/acpi_video.c,
and fixing that becomes problematic.
So this commit simply fixes this with the big hammer, performance
wise this is a non issue as we expect the work to get scheduled
exactly zero or one times during normal system use.
