I think I found the culprit. It's CONFIG_PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE option. It is 
actually marked as EXPERIMENTAL and there is even a proper warning included 
on the help page. Disabling it makes the kernel behave the right way. So 
should what I reported be considered a real error or not? Then the next 
question is should I report errors caused by options marked as EXPERIMENTAL 
or just leave it the way it is until the option is not EXPERIMENTAL anymore?

No problem. Thanks for Linux.
