When I run a stress test about pcie hotplug and removing operations by
sysfs, I got a hange task, and the following call trace is printed.

There is a race condition between these two kinds of operations.
When the Attention button on a PCIE slot is pressed, 5 seconds later,
pciehp_power_thread() will be scheduled on slot->wq. This function will
call pciehp_unconfigure_device(), which will try to get a global mutex
lock 'pci_rescan_remove_lock'.

At the same time, we remove the pcie port by sysfs, which results in
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked() called. This function will get
the global mutex lock 'pci_rescan_remove_lock', and then release the
struct 'ctrl', which will wait until the work_struct on slot->wq is
finished.

If pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked() got the mutex lock, and
before it drains workqueue slot->wq, pciehp_power_thread() is scheduled
on slot->wq and tries to get the mutex lock but failed, so it will just
wait. Then pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked() tries to drain workqueue
slot->wq and wait until work struct 'pciehp_power_thread()' is finished.
Then a hung_task occurs.

So this two kinds of operation, removing through attention buttion and
removing through /sys/devices/pci***/remove, should not be excuted at the
same time. This patch add a global variable to mark that one of these
operations is under processing. When this variable is set,  if another
operation is requested, it will be rejected.

At first, I want to add a flag for each pci slot to record whether a
removing operation is under processing. When a bridge is being removed,
the flags of all the slots below the bridge need to be checked. But it
is hard for us to guarantee the atomic access. So I just use a global
flag.

This workaround method uses a global flag, which is not good for the code
framework and can't fix the race condition fully. But I can't figure out
a better way. I think we may need to reconstruct the code framework a lot
to fix this issue nicely. There are so many work struct created. Before
that, maybe we can use this patch as a temporary fix.
