If a bridge supports hotplug and observes a PCIe fatal error, the following

1. AER driver removes the devices from PCI tree on fatal error
2. AER driver brings down the link by issuing a secondary bus reset waits
for the link to come up.
3. Hotplug driver observes a link down interrupt
4. Hotplug driver tries to remove the devices waiting for the rescan lock
but devices are already removed by the AER driver and AER driver is waiting
for the link to come back up.
5. AER driver tries to re-enumerate devices after polling for the link
state to go up.
6. Hotplug driver obtains the lock and tries to remove the devices again.
If a bridge is a hotplug capable bridge, mask hotplug interrupts before the
reset and unmask afterwards.
Would it work for you if you just amended the AER driver to skip
removal and re-enumeration of devices if the port is a hotplug bridge?
Just check for is_hotplug_bridge in struct pci_dev.
That would seem like a much simpler solution, given that it is known
that the link will flap on reset, causing the hotplug driver to remove
and re-enumerate devices. That would also cover cases where hotplug is
handled by a different driver than pciehp, or by the platform firmware.
