Reinette Chatre 2989360d9c x86/intel_rdt: Fix possible circular lock dependency
Lockdep is reporting a possible circular locking dependency:

 ======================================================
 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
 4.18.0-rc1-test-test+ #4 Not tainted
 ------------------------------------------------------
 user_example/766 is trying to acquire lock:
 0000000073479a0f (rdtgroup_mutex){+.+.}, at: pseudo_lock_dev_mmap

 but task is already holding lock:
 000000001ef7a35b (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: vm_mmap_pgoff+0x9f/0x

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 -> #2 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}:
        _copy_to_user+0x1e/0x70
        filldir+0x91/0x100
        dcache_readdir+0x54/0x160
        iterate_dir+0x142/0x190
        __x64_sys_getdents+0xb9/0x170
        do_syscall_64+0x86/0x200
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

 -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3){++++}:
        start_creating+0x60/0x100
        debugfs_create_dir+0xc/0xc0
        rdtgroup_pseudo_lock_create+0x217/0x4d0
        rdtgroup_schemata_write+0x313/0x3d0
        kernfs_fop_write+0xf0/0x1a0
        __vfs_write+0x36/0x190
        vfs_write+0xb7/0x190
        ksys_write+0x52/0xc0
        do_syscall_64+0x86/0x200
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

 -> #0 (rdtgroup_mutex){+.+.}:
        __mutex_lock+0x80/0x9b0
        pseudo_lock_dev_mmap+0x2f/0x170
        mmap_region+0x3d6/0x610
        do_mmap+0x387/0x580
        vm_mmap_pgoff+0xcf/0x110
        ksys_mmap_pgoff+0x170/0x1f0
        do_syscall_64+0x86/0x200
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

 other info that might help us debug this:

 Chain exists of:
   rdtgroup_mutex --> &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3 --> &mm->mmap_sem

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
                                lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3);
                                lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
   lock(rdtgroup_mutex);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

 1 lock held by user_example/766:
  #0: 000000001ef7a35b (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: vm_mmap_pgoff+0x9f/0x110

rdtgroup_mutex is already being released temporarily during pseudo-lock
region creation to prevent the potential deadlock between rdtgroup_mutex
and mm->mmap_sem that is obtained during device_create(). Move the
debugfs creation into this area to avoid the same circular dependency.
