This looks ok, but a bit unfortunate that it duplicates what
mlxsw_pci_reset_at_pci_disable() is also open coding. It leaves Octeon
(orphaned) and Xen to rediscover the same bug. At a minimum I copied the Xen
folks for their awareness, but it feels like __pci_reset_function_locked()
really is no longer suitable to be exported to drivers with this new locking
requirement. It wants a wrapper that contains this detail.
