Dan Williams 2121db0963 Revert "acpi, nfit: Further restrict userspace ARS start requests"
The following lockdep splat results from acquiring the init_mutex in
acpi_nfit_clear_to_send():

 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
 lt-daxdev-error/7216 is trying to acquire lock:
 00000000f694db15 (&acpi_desc->init_mutex){+.+.}, at: acpi_nfit_clear_to_send+0x27/0x80 [nfit]

 but task is already holding lock:
 00000000182298f2 (&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.}, at: __nd_ioctl+0x457/0x610 [libnvdimm]

 which lock already depends on the new lock.


 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 -> #1 (&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.}:
        nvdimm_badblocks_populate+0x41/0x150 [libnvdimm]

        do_syscall_64+0x60/0x210
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

New infrastructure is needed to be able to perform this check without
acquiring the lock.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
