There's a locking granularity question here, where currently we're
locking at a global level.  If I want to reduce that granularity, it
seems the obvious question is what minimum granularity can we achieve.
A per-device lock it technically that minimum for the purposes of
serializing the device around open/release, but then concurrent
releases don't necessarily provide us the opportunity to perform a bus
reset affecting multiple devices since all the devices are racing each
other.  Therefore I conclude that a bus/slot locking granularity
provides us the best compromise of granularity vs functionality.

Correct, our callback function does not return a negative, but it's
certainly within the framework of this callback to do so.  I thought it
was more consistent with the framework to handle that case so we don't
overlook it in the future should the callback function change.

Correct.  Is this a suggestion for a wording change?

I don't disagree that the original wording is somewhat convoluted, but
I don't see that this is a tremendous improvement.  How about:

  If a bus or slot reset is available for the provided device and:
    - All of the devices affected by that bus or slot reset are unused
      (!refcnt)
    - At least one of the affected devices is marked dirty via
      needs_reset (such as by lack of FLR support)
  Then attempt to perform that bus or slot reset.
