[RFC PATCH 1/2] PCI: correctly flush workqueue when destroy pcie hotplug controller

[Jiang Liu <liuj97@gmail.com>]

When destroying a PCIe hotplug controller, all work items associated with
that controller should be flushed.  Function pcie_cleanup_slot() calls
cancel_delayed_work() and flush_workqueue() to achieve that.
Function flush_workqueue() will flush all work items already submitted,
but new work items submitted by those already submitted work items may
still be in live state when returning from flush_workqueue().

For the extreme case, pciehp driver may expierence following calling path:
1) pcie_isr() -> pciehp_handle_xxx() -> queue_interrupt_event()->queue_work()
2) interrupt_event_handler() -> handle_button_press_event() ->
   queue_delayed_work()
3) pciehp_queue_pushbutton_work() -> queue_work()

So enhance pcie_cleanup_slot() to correctly flush workqueue when destroying
PCIe hotplug controller.
