With this patch, the enum_sem field in struct hv_pcibus_device
is no longer needed. The semaphore serializes execution in
hv_pci_devices_present_work(), and that serialization is now done
with the ordered workqueue. Also, the last paragraph of the top level
comment for hv_pci_devices_present_work() should be updated to
reflect the new ordering assumptions.

Separately, an unrelated bug: At the top of hv_eject_device_work(),
the first test may do a put_pcichild() and return. This exit path also
needs to do put_hvpcibus() to balance the ref counts, or do a goto
the last two lines at the bottom of the function.

This invocation of get_hvpcibus() and queue_work() could be made
conditional on whether the preceding list_add_tail() transitioned
the list from empty to non-empty. If the list was already non-empty,
a previously queued invocation of hv_pci_devices_present_work()
will find the new entry and process it. But this is an
optimization in a non-perf sensitive code path, so may not be
worth it.

The drain_workqueue() call isn't necessary. destroy_workqueue() calls
drain_workqueue() and there better not be anything in the workqueue
anyway since all the ref counts are zero.

Same here -- drain_workqueue() isn't needed. The workqueue
must be empty anyway since the remove_event has completed
and the ref counts will all be zero.
