Sergey Senozhatsky a8b7e95345 zram: do not lookup algorithm in backends table 
[ Upstream commit dc89997264 ]

Always use crypto_has_comp() so that crypto can lookup module, call
usermodhelper to load the modules, wait for usermodhelper to finish and so
on.  Otherwise crypto will do all of these steps under CPU hot-plug lock
and this looks like too much stuff to handle under the CPU hot-plug lock.
Besides this can end up in a deadlock when usermodhelper triggers a code
path that attempts to lock the CPU hot-plug lock, that zram already holds.

An example of such deadlock:

- path A. zram grabs CPU hot-plug lock, execs /sbin/modprobe from crypto
  and waits for modprobe to finish

disksize_store
 zcomp_create
  __cpuhp_state_add_instance
   __cpuhp_state_add_instance_cpuslocked
    zcomp_cpu_up_prepare
     crypto_alloc_base
      crypto_alg_mod_lookup
       call_usermodehelper_exec
        wait_for_completion_killable
         do_wait_for_common
          schedule

- path B. async work kthread that brings in scsi device. It wants to
  register CPUHP states at some point, and it needs the CPU hot-plug
  lock for that, which is owned by zram.

async_run_entry_fn
 scsi_probe_and_add_lun
  scsi_mq_alloc_queue
   blk_mq_init_queue
    blk_mq_init_allocated_queue
     blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs
      __cpuhp_state_add_instance
       __cpuhp_state_add_instance_cpuslocked
        mutex_lock
         schedule

- path C. modprobe sleeps, waiting for all aync works to finish.

load_module
 do_init_module
  async_synchronize_full
   async_synchronize_cookie_domain
    schedule

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
