Subject: [PATCH] pci: rewrite pci_call_probe() to use workqueue instead of
 work_on_cpu()

pci_call_probe() uses work_on_cpu(), which creates and tears down a
full kthread on each call, to invoke ->probe() on node local CPU for
allocation affinity.

The same goal can easily be achieved using a work item.  This patch
rewrites pci_call_probe() so that it uses a work item instead of
work_on_cpu().

Note that the function is restructured for simplicity.  This adds
get/put_online_cpus() pair for devices without node but the overhead
of doing so isn't anything material at this level.

I tested both paths but had to simulate device on foreign node.

Thanks.
