[PATCH v3] cxl: Force context lock during EEH flow

Hi Vaibhav,

I like the simplified version better. However, I think it breaks 
cxlflash's recovery. With this patch, we are also unlocking the adapter 
later. It doesn't matter when the driver initializes the first time, but 
on EEH, we now call the "slot reset" callback of the virtual device 
while locked (we unlock on "resume"). And cxlflash re-attach's on "slot 
reset", see cxlflash_pci_slot_reset()->init_afu()->init_mc().
That was also true on the previous versions of the patch.
