driver core: take parent lock in async device attach
For device types with need_parent_lock set (only USB interfaces), probe() must run with the parent device locked. A synchronous attach after device_add() gets this from the caller, e.g. usb_set_configuration() holds the udev lock while adding interfaces. __device_attach_async_helper() runs the probe from an async worker instead, where that lock isn't held, and only takes device_lock(dev). With async probing enabled for the hub driver (e.g. driver_async_probe=* or driver_async_probe=hub), this races when a multi-TT hub is configured. For multi-TT hubs, hub_probe() calls usb_set_interface(hdev, 0, 1) to select the TT-per-port altsetting, and usb_set_interface() creates the endpoint devices of the interface a second time: usb_set_configuration() async worker [udev locked] device_add(intf) queues the probe ----------> __device_attach_async_helper() [intf locked, udev not locked] hub_probe() usb_set_interface(hdev, 0, 1) create_intf_ep_devs(intf) create_intf_ep_devs(intf) create_intf_ep_devs() checks and sets intf->ep_devs_created without a lock of its own. If usb_set_configuration() has created ep_81 but not yet set the flag, usb_set_interface() skips removing the endpoint devices of the old altsetting and creates ep_81 again. With a synchronous probe, hub_probe() runs inside device_add() with the udev lock held, and usb_set_configuration() then finds ep_devs_created already set. Single-TT hubs don't call usb_set_interface() from hub_probe() and don't show this warning, but their probe runs without the udev lock as well. On an i.MX8MM board with an onboard USB2514 hub this hit 11 of 100 boots: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '.../1-1/1-1:1.0/ep_81' Call trace: sysfs_warn_dup usb_create_ep_devs create_intf_ep_devs usb_set_interface hub_probe usb_probe_interface really_probe __device_attach_async_helper async_run_entry_fn It also shows on v7.3-rc6 in QEMU, with dummy_hcd and a raw-gadget program emulating a multi-TT hub: re-authorizing the hub in a loop, while a SCHED_FIFO task preempts the writing task at random points for 3 ms, hit the warning in 29 of 6000 iterations. Take the parent lock in __device_attach_async_helper() as well, like __driver_attach_async_helper() does, and move __device_driver_lock/unlock() up for that. With this the warning was gone in 300 boots on the board and in 6000 iterations in QEMU.
