This isn't much different than srcu_read_lock(). What about doing
something like this:

static inline void get_online_cpus(void)
{
	might_sleep();

	srcu_read_lock(&cpuhp_srcu);
	if (unlikely(__cpuhp_writer || __cpuhp_writer != current)) {
		srcu_read_unlock(&cpuhp_srcu);
		__get_online_cpus();
		current->online_cpus_held++;
	}
}

static inline void put_online_cpus(void)
{
	if (unlikely(current->online_cpus_held)) {
		current->online_cpus_held--;
		__put_online_cpus();
		return;
	}

	srcu_read_unlock(&cpuhp_srcu);
}

Then have the writer simply do:

	__cpuhp_write = current;
	synchronize_srcu(&cpuhp_srcu);

	<grab the mutex here>
