[patch 18/20] PCI: Replace the racy recursion prevention

[Thomas Gleixner]

pci_call_probe() can called recursively when a physcial function is probed
and the probing creates virtual functions, which are populated via
pci_bus_add_device() which in turn can end up calling pci_call_probe()
again.

The code has an interesting way to prevent recursing into the workqueue
code.  That's accomplished by a check whether the current task runs already
on the numa node which is associated with the device.

While that works to prevent the recursion into the workqueue code, it's
racy versus normal execution as there is no guarantee that the node does
not vanish after the check.

Make the detection reliable by:

 - Mark a probed device as 'is_probed' in pci_call_probe()
 
 - Check in pci_call_probe for a virtual function. If it's a virtual
   function and the associated physical function device is marked
   'is_probed' then this is a recursive call, so the call can be invoked in
   the calling context.
