Subject: [RFC PATCH] pci: Concurrency issue in NVMe Init through PCIe switch

We found a concurrency issue in NVMe Init when we initialize
multiple NVMe connected over PCIe switch.

Setup details:
 - SMP system with 8 ARMv8 cores running Linux kernel(4.11).
 - Two NVMe cards are connected to PCIe RC through bridge as shown
   in the below figure.

                   [RC]
                    |
                 [BRIDGE]
                    |
               -----------
              |           |

Issue description:
After PCIe enumeration completed NVMe driver probe function called
for both the devices from two CPUS simultaneously.
>From nvme_probe, pci_enable_device_mem called for both the EPs. This
function called pci_enable_bridge enable recursively until RC.

Inside pci_enable_bridge function, at two places concurrency issue is
observed.

Place 1:
  CPU 0:
    1. Done Atomic increment dev->enable_cnt
       in pci_enable_device_flags
    2. Inside pci_enable_resources
    3. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &cmd)
    4. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY (0x2) in
       pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd)
  CPU 1:
    1. Check pci_is_enabled in function pci_enable_bridge
       and it is true
    2. Check (!dev->is_busmaster) also true
    3. Gone into pci_set_master
    4. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &old_cmd)
    5. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MASTER (0x4) in
       pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd)

By the time of last point for both the CPUs are read value 0 and
ready to write 2 and 4.
After last point final value in PCI_COMMAND register is 4 instead of 6.

Place 2:
  CPU 0:
    1. Done Atomic increment dev->enable_cnt in
       pci_enable_device_flags
    2. Inside pci_enable_resources
    3. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &cmd)
    4. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY (0x2) in
       pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd);
  CPU 1:
    1. Done Atomic increment dev->enable_cnt in function
       pci_enable_device_flag fail return 0 from there
    2. Gone into pci_set_master
    3. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &old_cmd)
    4. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MASTER (0x4) in
       pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd)

By the time of last point for both the CPUs are read value 0 and
ready to write 2 and 4.
After last point final value in PCI_COMMAND register is 4 instead of 6.
