BTW, the bug here is a race condtion which couldn't be easily hit in the past,
probably because most of the time only one PCI device was only added into the
VM once. But now it's becoming typical that a VM can have 4 GPU devices so we
start to notice this bug. With 7 Mellanox VFs assigned to a VM, we can easily
reproduce the bug by "hot-remove and hot-add VFs" test:
