Yosry Ahmed 4dff389c9f Revert "mm: zswap: fix race between [de]compression and CPU hotunplug"
This reverts commit eaebeb9392.

Commit eaebeb9392 ("mm: zswap: fix race between [de]compression and CPU
hotunplug") used the CPU hotplug lock in zswap compress/decompress
operations to protect against a race with CPU hotunplug making some
per-CPU resources go away.

However, zswap compress/decompress can be reached through reclaim while
the lock is held, resulting in a potential deadlock as reported by syzbot:

Revert the change. A different fix for the race with CPU hotunplug will
follow.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
