When cpci_hp_stop() is called to disabled cpcihp controller, it will disable interrupt for that controller. But there's small window for event_thread() to reenable the interrupt again. So stop the worker thread before disabling the interrupt. If check_slots() returns error, ther working thread (cpci_thread) will exit. Later when cpci_stop_thread() or cpci_hp_intr() tries to access cpci_thread, it may have already been destroyed. So hold a reference count to cpci_thread to avoid invalid memory access.
