SDEI has private events that need registering and enabling on each CPU. CPUs can come and go while we are trying to do this. SDEI tries to avoid these problems by setting the reregister flag before the register call, so any CPUs that come online register the event too. Sticking plaster like this doesn't work, as if the register call fails, a CPU that subsequently comes online will register the event before reregister is cleared. Take cpus_read_lock() around the register and enable calls. We don't want surprise CPUs to do the wrong thing if they race with these calls failing.

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.
