A fault in a user provided buffer may lead anywhere, and lockdep warns
that we have a potential deadlock between the mm->mmap_sem and the
kernfs file mutex:

Highly unlikely though this scenario is, we can avoid the issue entirely
by moving the copy operation from out under the kernfs_get_active()
tracking by assigning the preallocated buffer its own mutex. The
temporary buffer allocation doesn't require mutex locking as it is
entirely local.

The locked section was extended by the addition of the preallocated buf
to speed up md user operations in

    sysfs/kernfs: allow attributes to request write buffer be pre-allocated.

I have applied this locally to our repo to be included into our CI

We will drop the local patch once this waterfalls from upstream to our

unlikely to ever happen, so it can wait for 4.7-rc1.
