Thank you, good catch.
Unfortunately your patch still allows the following race AFAICS:
* pciehp_ist() is running (e.g. due to a hotplug operation)
* a request to disable or enable the slot is submitted via sysfs,
the completion is reinitialized
* pciehp_ist() finishes, signals completion
* the sysfs request returns to user space prematurely
* pciehp_ist() is run, handles the sysfs request, signals completion again
I'd suggest something like the below instead, could you give it a whirl
and see if it reliably fixes the issue for you?

Subject: [PATCH] PCI: pciehp: Avoid returning prematurely from sysfs requests
A sysfs request to enable or disable a PCIe hotplug slot should not
return before it has been carried out. That is sought to be achieved
by waiting until the controller's "pending_events" have been cleared.
However the IRQ thread pciehp_ist() clears the "pending_events" before
it acts on them. If pciehp_sysfs_enable_slot() / _disable_slot() happen
to check the "pending_events" after they have been cleared but while
pciehp_ist() is still running, the functions may return prematurely
with an incorrect return value.
Fix by introducing an "ist_running" flag which must be false before a
sysfs request is allowed to return.
