padata: fix possible padata_works_lock deadlock
syzbot reports, WARNING: inconsistent lock state 5.9.0-rc2-syzkaller #0 Not tainted -------------------------------- inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage. syz-executor.0/26715 takes: (padata_works_lock){+.?.}-{2:2}, at: padata_do_parallel kernel/padata.c:220 {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} state was registered at: spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:354 [inline] padata_do_parallel kernel/padata.c:220 ... __do_softirq kernel/softirq.c:298 ... sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:1091 asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:581 Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(padata_works_lock); <Interrupt> lock(padata_works_lock); padata_do_parallel() takes padata_works_lock with softirqs enabled, so a deadlock is possible if, on the same CPU, the lock is acquired in process context and then softirq handling done in an interrupt leads to the same path. Fix by leaving softirqs disabled while do_parallel holds padata_works_lock.
