Adrien Thierry 7dafc3e007 scsi: ufs: core: Initialize devfreq synchronously
During UFS initialization, devfreq initialization is asynchronous:
ufshcd_async_scan() calls ufshcd_add_lus(), which in turn initializes
devfreq for UFS. The simple ondemand governor is then loaded. If it is
built as a module, request_module() is called and throws a warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 167 at kernel/kmod.c:136 __request_module+0x1e0/0x460

This occurs because synchronous module loading from async is not
allowed. According to __request_module():

  /*
   * We don't allow synchronous module loading from async.  Module
   * init may invoke async_synchronize_full() which will end up
   * waiting for this task which already is waiting for the module
   * loading to complete, leading to a deadlock.
   */

Such a deadlock was experienced on the Qualcomm QDrive3/sa8540p-ride. With
DEVFREQ_GOV_SIMPLE_ONDEMAND=m, the boot hangs after the warning.

Fix both the warning and the deadlock by moving devfreq initialization out
of the async routine.

Tested on the sa8540p-ride by using fio to put the UFS under load, and
printing the trace generated by
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/ufs/ufshcd_clk_scaling events. The trace looks
similar with and without the change.

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 Restructured Text 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.
