It's possible, but that doesn't matter:

hv_pci_query_relations() is called only once, and it sets hbus->survey_event
to point to the stack variable 'comp'. The first survey_child_resources()
calls complete() for the 'comp' and sets hbus->survey_event to NULL.

When the second survey_child_resources() is called, hbus->survey_event
is NULL, so survey_child_resources() returns immediately.

According to my test, after hv_pci_enter_d0() posts PCI_BUS_D0ENTRY,
the guest receives a second PCI_BUS_RELATIONS2 message, which is
the same as the first PCI_BUS_RELATIONS2 message, which is basically
a no-op in pci_devices_present_work(), especially with the
newly-introduced per-hbus state_lock mutex.
