If a bridge supports hotplug and observes a PCIe fatal error, the following events happen: 1. AER driver removes the devices from PCI tree on fatal error 2. AER driver brings down the link by issuing a secondary bus reset waits for the link to come up. 3. Hotplug driver observes a link down interrupt 4. Hotplug driver tries to remove the devices waiting for the rescan lock but devices are already removed by the AER driver and AER driver is waiting for the link to come back up. 5. AER driver tries to re-enumerate devices after polling for the link state to go up. 6. Hotplug driver obtains the lock and tries to remove the devices again. Ignore link events caused by fatal error in hotplug driver. Note that surprise link down fatal error is a hotplug event.
