Commit "7ea7e98fd8d0" suggests that the "pci_lock" is sufficient,
and all the callers of pci_wait_cfg() are wrapped with the "pci_lock".

However, since the commit "cdcb33f98244" merged, the accesses to
the pci_cfg_wait queue are not safe anymore. A "pci_lock" is
insufficient and we need to hold an additional queue lock while
read/write the wait queue.

So let's use the add_wait_queue()/remove_wait_queue() instead of
__add_wait_queue()/__remove_wait_queue().

As I said earlier, this reintroduces the deadlock addressed by

Thanks Matthew, sorry for that I did not understand the way to reintroduce
the deadlock and sent this patch. If what I think is right, the possible
deadlock may be caused by the condition in which there are three processes:

   *Process*                          *Acquired*         *Wait For*
   wake_up_all()                      wq_head->lock      pi_lock
   snbep_uncore_pci_read_counter()    pi_lock            pci_lock
   pci_wait_cfg()                     pci_lock           wq_head->lock

These processes suffer from the nested locks.:)

But for this problem, what do you think about the solution below:

        } while (dev->block_cfg_access);

 }

 /* Returns 0 on success, negative values indicate error. */
