Subject: clocksource: Call clocksource_change_rating() outside of watchdog_lock
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6ea41d252f35465a2308a4038a323b6b07de06f6;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

clocksource: Call clocksource_change_rating() outside of watchdog_lock

The changes to the watchdog logic introduced a lock inversion between
watchdog_lock and clocksource_mutex. Change the rating outside of
watchdog_lock to avoid it.
