> 
> When we hot-remove the device, we first receive a PCI_EJECT message and
> then receive a PCI_BUS_RELATIONS message with bus_rel->device_count == 0.
> 
> The first message is offloaded to hv_eject_device_work(), and the second is
> offloaded to pci_devices_present_work(). Both the paths can be running
> list_del(&hpdev->list_entry), causing general protection fault, because
> system_wq can run them concurrently.
> 
> The patch eliminates the race condition.
