This can easily be triggered if a new CPU is added (via
ACPI hotplug mechanism) and from user-space you do:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
(or wait for UDEV to do it) on a newly appeared physical CPU.
The deadlock is that the "store_online" in drivers/base/cpu.c
takes the cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() lock, then calls "cpu_up".
"cpu_up" eventually ends up calling "save_mc_for_early"
which also takes the cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() lock.
And here is that lockdep thinks of it:
smpboot: Stack at about ffff880075c39f44
smpboot: CPU3: has booted.
microcode: CPU3 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x25

In 32-bit, __pa_symbol() in CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL accesses kernel data
(e.g. max_low_pfn) that not only hasn't been setup yet in such early
boot phase, but since we are in linear mode, cannot even be detected
as uninitialized.
Thus, use __pa_nodebug() rather than __pa_symbol() to get a global
symbol's physical address.

Implementation of early update ucode on Intel's CPU.
load_ucode_intel_bsp() scans ucode in initrd image file which is a cpio format
ucode followed by ordinary initrd image file. The binary ucode file is stored
in kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin in the cpio data. All ucode
patches with the same model as BSP are saved in memory. A matching ucode patch
is updated on BSP.
load_ucode_intel_ap() reads saved ucoded patches and updates ucode on AP.
