When a physical node of an ACPI device being hot-removed cannot be
offlined, acpi_bus_offline() passes the physical device back to
acpi_scan_try_to_offline() through ret_p and the latter prints
"Offline failed." for it after the namespace walk. By then
physical_node_lock is not held anymore, so the device may have been
unbound from its ACPI companion and freed in the meantime.
Print the message in acpi_bus_offline() when device_offline() fails in
the second pass, while physical_node_lock keeps the device bound to its
ACPI companion and so the reference taken by acpi_bind_one() is still
held. acpi_scan_try_to_offline() only needs to know that something
could not be offlined, so pass the ACPI device back through ret_p
instead, like in the "Offline disabled." case.
Fixes: 303bfdb1a14d ("ACPI / scan: Add second pass of companion offlining to hot-remove code")

acpi_bus_offline() and acpi_bus_online() hold the physical_node_lock of
the ACPI device being hot-removed while they call device_offline() and
device_online() for its physical nodes. Offlining a CPU this way takes
cpu_add_remove_lock and the CPU hotplug lock under physical_node_lock,
and lockdep connects that to the uevent attribute of platform devices,
whose store method takes physical_node_lock in
acpi_primary_dev_companion():
physical_node_lock (acpi_bus_offline())
-> cpu_add_remove_lock -> cpu_hotplug_lock
-> cpuhp_state-down (mce_cpu_pre_down() unregistering a device)
-> device_links_lock (device_links_purge())
-> kn->active of a uevent attribute (device link unregistration)
-> physical_node_lock (uevent_store() -> acpi_companion_match())
syzbot has reported this cycle twice. The uevent attribute waited for in
the link unregistration is the device link's, not a platform device's,
and the physical_node_lock taken at the end is that of the platform
device's ACPI companion, not of the processor being ejected, so lockdep
only connects them because they share lock classes and this is unlikely
to deadlock. However, lockdep turns itself off after reporting it.
It can be reproduced in a QEMU guest by writing to the uevent attribute
of an ACPI-enumerated platform device, reading the uevent attribute of a
device link while the link is removed, offlining a CPU and ejecting one
through sysfs.
physical_node_lock protects the list of physical nodes. Since
acpi_unbind_one() blocks on it, holding it also keeps device_offline()
and device_online() from running in parallel with whatever happens to a
device after it has been unbound from its ACPI companion, but that is not
necessary: a reference to each device is held while the lock is dropped,
and the removal of the devices that can actually be taken offline here
(CPUs, memory blocks and containers) is serialized by the device hotplug
lock or acpi_scan_lock, both of which acpi_device_hotplug() holds
throughout.
So drop physical_node_lock around device_offline() and device_online().
Mark the nodes to offline with a new offline_pending flag, hold a
reference to each device while the lock is dropped, and look its node up
again afterwards to record whether it needs to be put back online,
because it may have been unbound in the meantime. Physical nodes added
while the lock is not held are not offlined by the current pass, which is
no different from adding them right after it.
Since acpi_container_offline() no longer runs under the container's
physical_node_lock, the nesting annotation added to
acpi_scan_is_offline() by commit 4c533c801d1c ("ACPI / scan: Annotate
physical_node_lock in acpi_scan_is_offline()") is not needed anymore, so
drop it.
