Minor nit, I have never seen "rw_sema" as an identifier for an
rw_semaphore, would have expected "rwsem". Note I am only commenting on
this because there is something real to fix below.

If the work item is not registered, nothing will drop this reference.

I would add a comment that the reference is held as long as the pdev is
live in the kfifo.

...while fixing the above, go ahead and wrap this at 80 columns.

At this point we know the pdev did not go live in the kfifo so ref can be
dropped here.

I prefer the cancel_work_sync() inside this function rather than
cxl_ras_exit() so the semantic that no invocations spill outside of the
"unregister" barrier.

I realize cxl_cper_unregister_prot_err_work() originally made this a bit
messy so I am ok if a follow-on cleanup fixes up both.

Maybe Dave can fix the above issues up on applying?

With those addressed you can add:
