Commit c780d01cf1a6 ("media: vb2: vb2_core_queue_init(): sanity check lock
and wait_prepare/finish") added a sanity check to ensure that if there are
no wait_prepare/finish callbacks set by the driver, then the vb2_queue lock
must be set, since otherwise the vb2 core cannot do correct locking.

The rtl2832_sdr.c triggered this warning: it turns out that while the
driver does set this lock, it sets it too late. So move it up to before
the vb2_queue_init() call.

This reverts commit 3dd075fe8ebbc6fcbf998f81a75b8c4b159a6195.

Tomasz has reported that his device, Generalplus Technology Inc. 808 Camera,
with ID 1b3f:2002, stopped being detected:

$ ls -l /dev/video*
zsh: no matches found: /dev/video*
[    7.230599] usb 3-2: Found multiple Units with ID 5

This particular device is non-compliant, having both the Output Terminal
and Processing Unit with ID 5. uvc_scan_fallback, though, is able to build
a chain. However, when media elements are added and uvc_mc_create_links
call uvc_entity_by_id, it will get the incorrect entity,
media_create_pad_link will WARN, and it will fail to register the entities.

In order to reinstate support for such devices in a timely fashion,
reverting the fix for these warnings is appropriate. A proper fix that
considers the existence of such non-compliant devices will be submitted in
a later development cycle.

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.

  Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
  bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
  merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
  mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
  stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.

  There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at
  least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is
  working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone
  else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the
  moment.

  Here's a short list of the things in here:

   - driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o
     functions.

     We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
     depending on what you want to do.

   - misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
     them

   - debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
     places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing
     things in complex ways.

   - driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
     different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.

   - other small fixes and updates

  All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
  merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
  "soon""

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The most significant change here is replacing msleep() in
  acpi_os_sleep() with usleep_range() to reduce spurious sleep time due
  to timer inaccuracy which may spectacularly reduce the duration of
  system suspend and resume transitions on some systems.

  All of the other changes fall into the fixes and cleanups category
  this time.

  Specifics:

   - Use usleep_range() instead of msleep() in acpi_os_sleep() to reduce
     excessive delays due to timer inaccuracy, mostly affecting system
     suspend and resume (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Use str_enabled_disabled() string helpers in the ACPI tables
     parsing code to make it easier to follow (Sunil V L)

   - Update device properties parsing on systems using ACPI so that data
     firmware nodes resulting from _DSD evaluation are treated as
     available in firmware nodes walks (Sakari Ailus)

   - Fix missing guid_t declaration in linux/prmt.h (Robert Richter)

   - Update the GHES handling code to follow the global panic= policy
     instead of overriding it by force-rebooting the system after a
     fatal HW error has been reported (Borislav Petkov)

   - Update messages printed by the ACPI battery driver to always refer
     to driver extensions as "hooks" to avoid confusion with similar
     functionality in the power supply subsystem in the future (Thomas
     Weißschuh)

   - Fix .probe() error path cleanup in the ACPI fan driver to avoid
     memory leaks (Joe Hattori)

   - Constify 'struct bin_attribute' in some places in the ACPI
     subsystem and mark it as __ro_after_init in one place to prevent
     binary blob attributes from being updated (Thomas Weißschuh)

   - Add empty stubs for several ACPI-related symbols so that they can
     be used when CONFIG_ACPI is unset and use them for removing
     unnecessary conditional compilation from the ipu-bridge driver
     (Ricardo Ribalda)"

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:

   1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
      execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
      by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
      Affinity here is a correctness constraint.

   2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
      can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
      kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
      handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
      correctness constraint.

   3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
      This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
      terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
      category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
      CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
      that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
      node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
      doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.

   4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
      affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
      exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
      from a distinctly distributed tree.

  Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
  identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
  CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
  own ad-hoc way.

  This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
  API changes:

   - kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
     to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
     kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.

   - kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
     right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
     affinity different than the specified node.

  When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
  targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
  the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
  or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).

  kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
  converted, along with a few old drivers.

  Summary of the changes:

   - Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
     kthread_run_on_cpu()

   - Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
     resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware

   - Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
     called before the first kthread wake up.

   - Default affine kthread to its preferred node.

   - Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
     affinity implementation

   - Implement kthreads preferred affinity

   - Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style

   - Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
     implementation"

kthread_create() creates a kthread without running it yet. kthread_run()
creates a kthread and runs it.

On the other hand, kthread_create_worker() creates a kthread worker and
runs it.

This difference in behaviours is confusing. Also there is no way to
create a kthread worker and affine it using kthread_bind_mask() or
kthread_affine_preferred() before starting it.

Consolidate the behaviours and introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]()
that behaves just like kthread_run(). kthread_create_worker[_on_cpu]()
will now only create a kthread worker without starting it.
