Commit 414428c5da1c added the calls to pci_lock/unlock_rescan_remove()
in both create_root_hv_pci_bus() and in hv_eject_device_work().  This patch
removes the calls only in create_reboot_hv_pci_bus(), but leaves them in
hv_eject_device_work(), in hv_pci_remove(), and in pci_devices_present_work().
So evidently it is still needed to provide exclusion for other cases.  Perhaps your
commit message could clarify that only the exclusion of create_root_hv_pci_bus()
is now superfluous because of the hbus->state_lock.  And commit 414428c5da1c
isn't fully reverted because evidently the lock is still needed in
hv_eject_device_work().
