Using the same locking order is a good way to solve this AB->BA kind of deadlock. Adjust the locking order of the AER side, taking device_lock firstly and then the pci_bus_sem, to make sure it's locking order is the same as the sriov side. This patch solves the above deadlock issue only with little changes.
