5.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit ce48c457b95316b9a01b5aa9d4456ce820df94b4 ]

Since we've had:

  commit cb538267ea1e ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations")

we've been getting some lockdep warnings during init, such as on HiKey960:

We've also had a similar warning in sched_init_smp() for every
asymmetric system that would enable the sched_asym_cpucapacity static
key, although that was singled out in:

  commit 40fa3780bac2 ("sched/core: Take the hotplug lock in sched_init_smp()")

Those warnings are actually harmless, since we cannot have hotplug
operations at the time they appear. Instead of starting to sprinkle
useless hotplug lock operations in the init codepaths, mute the
warnings until they start warning about real problems.
