[PATCH] PCI/IOV: Plug VF bus creation race

[Marc Zyngier]

On a system that creates VFs for multiple PFs in parallel (in
this case, network bringup at boot time), and when these VFs
end-up on the same bus, bad things sometimes happen:

It turns out that virtfn_add_bus() doesn't hold any lock, which
means there is a potential race between checking that the bus
exists already, and adding it if it doesn't.

A per-device lock wouldn't help, as this happens when multiple
PFs insert their respective VFs concurrently.

Instead, let's introduce new mutex, private to the IOV subsystem,
that gets taken when dealing with a virtfn bus (either creation
or destruction). This ensures that these operations get serialized.
