4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 4f4b374332ec0ae9c738ff8ec9bed5cd97ff9adc ]

This is the much more correct fix for my earlier attempt at:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/10/118

Short recap:

- There's not actually a locking issue, it's just lockdep being a bit
  too eager to complain about a possible deadlock.

- Contrary to what I claimed the real problem is recursion on
  kn->count. Greg pointed me at sysfs_break_active_protection(), used
  by the scsi subsystem to allow a sysfs file to unbind itself. That
  would be a real deadlock, which isn't what's happening here. Also,
  breaking the active protection means we'd need to manually handle
  all the lifetime fun.

- With Rafael we discussed the task_work approach, which kinda works,
  but has two downsides: It's a functional change for a lockdep
  annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs
  to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace).

- Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to
  unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I
  guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only
  with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep
  built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the
  acpi_video_unregister call.

Full lockdep splat:

Looking around I've noticed that usb and i2c already handle similar
recursion problems, where a sysfs file can unbind the same type of
sysfs somewhere else in the hierarchy. Relevant commits are:

    sysfs: get rid of some lockdep false positives

Author: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@nsn.com>
Date:   Fri May 17 14:56:35 2013 +0200

    i2c: suppress lockdep warning on delete_device

Implement the same trick for driver bind/unbind.

v2: Put the macro into bus.c (Greg).
