This is the deadlock scenario:
osnoise_hotplug_workfn()
  guard(cpus_read_lock)();      // first lock call
  start_kthread(cpu)
    if (IS_ERR(kthread)) {
      stop_per_cpu_kthreads(); {
        cpus_read_lock();      // second lock call. Cause the AA deadlock
      }
    }
It is not necessary to call stop_per_cpu_kthreads() which stops osnoise
kthread for every other CPUs in the system if a failure occurs during
hotplug of a certain CPU.
For start_per_cpu_kthreads(), if the start_kthread() call fails,
this function calls stop_per_cpu_kthreads() to handle the error.
Therefore, similarly, there is no need to call stop_per_cpu_kthreads()
again within start_kthread().
So just remove stop_per_cpu_kthreads() from start_kthread to solve this issue.
