[PATCH v4] cxl: Force context lock during EEH flow

During an eeh event when the cxl card is fenced and card sysfs attr
perst_reloads_same_image is set following warning message is seen in the
kernel logs:

 [   60.622727] Adapter context unlocked with 0 active contexts
 [   60.622762] ------------[ cut here ]------------
 [   60.622771] WARNING: CPU: 12 PID: 627 at
 ../drivers/misc/cxl/main.c:325 cxl_adapter_context_unlock+0x60/0x80 [cxl]

Even though this warning is harmless, it clutters the kernel log
during an eeh event. This warning is triggered as the EEH callback
cxl_pci_error_detected doesn't obtain a context-lock before forcibly
detaching all active context and when context-lock is released during
call to cxl_configure_adapter from cxl_pci_slot_reset, a warning in
cxl_adapter_context_unlock is triggered.

To fix this warning, we acquire the adapter context-lock via
cxl_adapter_context_lock() in the eeh callback
cxl_pci_error_detected() once all the virtual AFU PHBs are notified
and their contexts detached. The context-lock is released in
cxl_pci_slot_reset() after the adapter is successfully reconfigured
and before we call slot_reset callback on slice attached device-drivers.

Change-Log:

v3..v4
- Moved the call to context-unlock from cxl_pci_resume to
cxl_pci_slot_reset to let cxlflash module activate its master context
during slot reset. (Fred)

v2..v3
- As discussed with Fred removed function
cxl_adapter_context_force_lock() which may potentially expose the code
to deadlock in the future.
-  Other details of changes in cxl_pci_error_detected() to fix an
earlier issue of eeh callbacks not being passed on to all slices, is
being reworked as a separate patch.

v2..v1
- Moved the call to cxl_adapter_context_force_lock() from
cxl_pci_error_detected() to cxl_remove. (Fred)
