Subject: [PATCH] pci-sysfs: replace mutex_lock with mutex_trylock to avoid potential deadlock situation

There is a potential deadlock situation when we manipulate the pci-sysfs user
interfaces from different bus hierarchy simultaneously, described as following:

path1: sysfs remove device:             | path2: sysfs rescan device: 
sysfs_schedule_callback_work()          | sysfs_write_file() 
  remove_callback()                     |   flush_write_buffer()
*1* mutex_lock(&pci_remove_rescan_mutex)|*2*  sysfs_get_active(attr_sd) 
      ...                               |     dev_attr_store() 
        device_remove_file()            |       dev_rescan_store()
          ...                           |*4*      mutex_lock(&pci_remove_rescan_mutex)
*3*       sysfs_deactivate(sd)          |     ...
            wait_for_completion()       |*5*  sysfs_put_active(attr_sd)
*6* mutex_unlock(&pci_remove_rescan_mutex)

If path1 firstly holds the pci_remove_rescan_mutex at *1*, then another path 
called path2 actived and runs to *2* before path1 runs to *3*, we now runs
to a deadlock situation:
Path1 holds the mutex waiting path2 to decrease sysfs_dirent's s_active
counter at *5*, but path2 is blocked at *4* when trying to get the 
pci_remove_rescan_mutex. The mutex won't be put by path1 until it reach
*6*, but it's now blocked at *3*.

The circumvented approach is to avoid manipulating(remove/scan) the pci-tree at 
the same time. If we find someone else is manipulating the pci-tree we simply
abort current operation without touching the pci-tree concurrently.
