A surprise link down may retrain very quickly, causing the same slot to generate a link up event before handling the link down completes. Since the link is active, the power off work queued from the first link down will cause a second down event when the power is disabled. The second down event should be ignored because the slot is already powering off; however, the "link up" event sets the slot state to POWERON before the event to handle this is enqueued, making the second down event believe it needs to do something. This creates a constant link up and down event cycle. This patch fixes that by setting the slot state only when the work to handle the power event is executing, protected by the hot plug mutex.
