PM / QoS: Avoid possible deadlock related to sysfs access
Commit b81ea1b (PM / QoS: Fix concurrency issues and memory leaks in
device PM QoS) put calls to pm_qos_sysfs_add_latency(),
pm_qos_sysfs_add_flags(), pm_qos_sysfs_remove_latency(), and
pm_qos_sysfs_remove_flags() under dev_pm_qos_mtx, which was a
mistake, because it may lead to deadlocks in some situations.
For example, if pm_qos_remote_wakeup_store() is run in parallel
with dev_pm_qos_constraints_destroy(), they may deadlock in the
following way:

Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(dev_pm_qos_mtx);
lock(s_active#54);
lock(dev_pm_qos_mtx);
lock(s_active#54);
*** DEADLOCK ***
To avoid that, remove the calls to functions mentioned above from
under dev_pm_qos_mtx and introduce a separate lock to prevent races
between functions that add or remove device PM QoS sysfs attributes
from happening.
