When an interrupt is received via the IRQ, the bulk of the work is stacked on a workqueue for later processing. Which means that concurrent START or a HALT/CLEAR operation (via the async_region) will race with this process and require some serialization. Once we have all our locks acquired, let's just look to see if we're in a window where the process has been started from the IRQ, but not yet picked up by vfio-ccw to clean up an I/O. If there is, mark the request as BUSY so it can be redriven after we have a chance to breathe.
