Daniel Jordan 77db4e1d40 padata: add separate cpuhp node for CPUHP_PADATA_DEAD
[ Upstream commit 3c2214b602 ]

Removing the pcrypt module triggers this:

  general protection fault, probably for non-canonical
    address 0xdead000000000122
  CPU: 5 PID: 264 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 5.6.0+ #2
  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC
  RIP: 0010:__cpuhp_state_remove_instance+0xcc/0x120
  Call Trace:
   padata_sysfs_release+0x74/0xce
   kobject_put+0x81/0xd0
   padata_free+0x12/0x20
   pcrypt_exit+0x43/0x8ee [pcrypt]

padata instances wrongly use the same hlist node for the online and dead
states, so __padata_free()'s second cpuhp remove call chokes on the node
that the first poisoned.

cpuhp multi-instance callbacks only walk forward in cpuhp_step->list and
the same node is linked in both the online and dead lists, so the list
corruption that results from padata_alloc() adding the node to a second
list without removing it from the first doesn't cause problems as long
as no instances are freed.

Avoid the issue by giving each state its own node.
