Subject: [PATCH] xen/pciback: Use mutexes when working with Xenbus state
 transitions.


The caller that orchestrates the state changes is xenwatch_thread
and it takes a mutex. In our processing of Xenbus states we can take
the luxery of going to sleep on a mutex, so lets do that and
also fix this bug:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /linux/kernel/mutex.c:271
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 32, name: xenwatch
2 locks held by xenwatch/32:
 #0:  (xenwatch_mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff813856ab>] xenwatch_thread+0x4b/0x180
 #1:  (&(&pdev->dev_lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffff8138f05b>] xen_pcibk_disconnect+0x1b/0x80
Pid: 32, comm: xenwatch Not tainted 3.1.0-rc6-00015-g3ce340d #2
Call Trace:
