Lockdep reports a possible circular locking dependency [1] when cpu_hotplug_lock is acquired inside store_local_boost(), after policy->rwsem has already been taken by store(). However, the boost update is strictly per-policy and does not access shared state or iterate over all policies. Since policy->rwsem is already held, this is enough to serialize against concurrent topology changes for the current policy. Remove the cpus_read_lock() to resolve the lockdep warning and avoid unnecessary locking.

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.
