PCI: Fix is_added/is_busmaster race condition
When a PCI device is detected, pdev->is_added is set to 1 and proc and
sysfs entries are created.
When the device is removed, pdev->is_added is checked for one and then
device is detached with clearing of proc and sys entries and at end,
pdev->is_added is set to 0.
is_added and is_busmaster are bit fields in pci_dev structure sharing same
memory location.
A strange issue was observed with multiple removal and rescan of a PCIe
NVMe device using sysfs commands where is_added flag was observed as zero
instead of one while removing device and proc,sys entries are not cleared.
This causes issue in later device addition with warning message
"proc_dir_entry" already registered.
Debugging revealed a race condition between the PCI core setting the
is_added bit in pci_bus_add_device() and the NVMe driver reset work-queue
setting the is_busmaster bit in pci_set_master(). As these fields are not
handled atomically, that clears the is_added bit.
Move the is_added bit to a separate private flag variable and use atomic
functions to set and retrieve the device addition state. This avoids the
race because is_added no longer shares a memory location with is_busmaster.
