This is due to the commit cb538267ea1e ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold
the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations"). Therefore, it will check
if it is really in the CPU hotplug path or not, and work around this
problem by using cpus_read_trylock(). The chance of not getting the read
lock is very small. If that happens, it will report a lockdep warning at
most.
