PCI: Block on access to temporarily unavailable pci device

The existing implementation of pci_block_user_cfg_access() was recently
criticised for providing out of date information and for returning errors
on write, which applications won't be expecting.

This reimplementation uses a global wait queue and a bit per device.
I've open-coded prepare_to_wait() / finish_wait() as I could optimise
it significantly by knowing that the pci_lock protected us at all points.

It looked a bit funny to be doing a spin_unlock_irqsave(); schedule(),
so I used spin_lock_irq() for the _user versions of pci_read_config and
pci_write_config.  Not carrying a flags pointer around made the code
much less nasty.

Attempts to block an already blocked device hit a BUG() and attempts to
unblock an already unblocked device hit a WARN().  If we need to block
access to a device from userspace, it's because it's unsafe for even
another bit of the kernel to access the device.  An attempt to block
a device for a second time means we're about to access the device to
perform some other operation, which could provoke undefined behaviour
from the device.
